About Rebecca

Dr. Rebecca Michel holds a doctorate in Counseling and is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 16 years of professional experience. She combines a background in counseling with coaching skills to help people facing stress, anxiety, and workplace strain. Her style is practical and strengths-focused, aiming to help clients move toward real goals.

Rebecca helps people tackle parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, and career uncertainty. She works with those dealing with caregiver strain, communication problems, guilt and shame, and mood changes. She also supports people navigating pregnancy and childbirth challenges, midlife transitions, and questions about life purpose.

In sessions she emphasizes identifying strengths and building on them. That can mean clarifying values, setting small achievable goals, and practicing new ways to handle difficult conversations. Her coaching background informs goal-oriented work around motivation and career direction.

Her approach is collaborative and direct. She listens for what is getting in the way, then helps design steps that fit daily life. Sessions balance reflection with practical tasks to try between meetings.

Rebecca works in English and accepts international clients. If you want support with workplace issues, parenting pressures, or growing self-confidence, she offers an approach that pairs counseling insight with coaching techniques.

How Rebecca Uses Approaches Online

Dr. Michel integrates strengths-based coaching with counseling techniques to focus on what already works for a person. This approach helps clients spot reliable skills and build on them to reduce stress, improve confidence, and tackle career choices.

She also draws on goal-oriented counseling methods that break larger problems into small, doable steps. That practical work suits people who want clear action plans for parenting challenges, workplace problems, or mood concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then try approaches that fit. Clients and the therapist adjust methods over time based on what helps most.
