About Michelle
Michelle Uribe is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, anger, trauma and abuse, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Michelle uses a client-centered style. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and move at a pace that feels manageable. She adapts the conversation and plan to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.
Her background includes work in both educational and clinical settings. Over 11 years she has seen a range of everyday problems and more complex concerns, including attachment issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, mood disorders, self-harm, social anxiety, and family problems. That variety shapes a practical approach to common parenting and family stressors.
Michelle combines listening with practical strategies. Conversations may include ways to cope with emotions, skills for handling conflict, and steps to improve daily routines. She emphasizes small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Michelle frames the work as a partnership. She works alongside people as they try new ways of responding to stress, strengthen relationships, and build more stable patterns at home.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change. One common approach she uses centers on client-led conversation and empathetic listening to identify what matters most and to set achievable goals. This helps with stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strains by clarifying priorities and next steps.Another strand of her work emphasizes practical coping skills and behavior-focused strategies. These techniques teach concrete ways to manage strong emotions, handle conflict, and improve daily routines - useful for parenting challenges, mood disorders, and attention-related difficulties.
Finding the right mix of methods is a team effort. Michelle works collaboratively to decide which techniques fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan as progress or challenges appear.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins, and reduce travel time. It also allows continuity when schedules change, and can support steady progress using the same practical strategies applied in person.
