Michella Rahming

Michella Rahming is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She brings five years of clinical experience supporting adults through major life challenges, including addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship stress.

She works from an integrative, client-centered stance. That means conversations begin with what matters to the person in the room. She uses practical tools alongside listening to help people make changes that feel doable.

Her background includes supporting people in recovery from substance use who are currently sober and engaged in telemental health. She has also helped clients navigate grief, trauma, career shifts, and issues tied to identity and discrimination.

Michella blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with mindfulness and narrative techniques. She draws on psychodynamic ideas when understanding patterns that repeat over time. The mix of methods is chosen to fit each person’s goals and pace.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Florida A & M University and a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta, Georgia. As an LPC licensed to practice, she aims for steady progress through clear goals and respectful conversation.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the client's lead to set goals. Online sessions using this approach tend to prioritize what each person brings to the session and build from there.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses simple exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress through concrete skills.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is often used when strong emotions or repeated crises interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can evolve as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week, easier access for those who cannot travel, and fewer interruptions to a workday. The profile notes telemental health has been used with clients in recovery; otherwise confirm which session formats are available before booking. Online care can make regular check-ins and skill practice easier to maintain.
