About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Coble is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 16 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coaching. She speaks English and works with adults who want practical help for everyday pressures.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches to help people identify what gets in the way and build skills to manage it. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning concrete strategies, and practicing small behavior changes between meetings. Her work covers issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and codependency.
Michelle also helps people navigate communication problems, control issues, divorce or separation, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and impulsivity. She combines methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered approaches to match the needs of each person.
Her background includes a doctorate in health sciences and leadership as a director of behavioral health at a community health agency. That mix of clinical and administrative experience informs a practical focus on workable plans and realistic goals. When people book a first session she works with them to clarify priorities and pick steps that fit their daily life.
Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session so treatment goals and session logistics can be set.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches inform online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then commit to values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation problems by shifting attention from avoidance to purposeful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It works well for anxiety, low self-esteem, and impulsive patterns by teaching specific skills and homework practices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be helpful when strong emotions and impulsive reactions are a concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and what shows early benefit. That collaborative process helps shape session content and practice between sessions so the plan fits daily life.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and permit brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. It can also allow focused, skills-based sessions that include homework review and coaching between meetings. If you want to know which formats are available, confirm them during the matching and scheduling steps.
