01About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Tatum uses a straightforward, skills-based approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She brings 18 years of experience and holds LCPC and LPCC credentials, which are listed here as provided.
She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful. She focuses on practical tools clients can use between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a primary method she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions often include goal-setting, simple exercises, and clear steps to practice at home. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing life changes such as caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns, isolation, and career transitions.
These areas shape how she tailors conversations and plans. Dr. Tatum adapts communication to each persons needs and values.
She aims to listen first, then build an approach that fits daily life. That can mean shorter check-ins, focused skill practice, or longer sessions when needed. In Nevada-based practice she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
People who want to begin can expect a simple intake and a shared plan for change.

04Online support
Approach-driven care for online therapy
Dr. Tatum primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and then test new, healthier ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, sleeping problems, and many day-to-day coping challenges.She pairs clear skill teaching with collaborative planning. That means the therapist and client work together to decide which techniques to try, how to adapt them to a persons life, and when to change course. Clients are encouraged to set goals and try short exercises between sessions so progress is practical and measurable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people have a regular conversational session similar to in-person therapy. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter updates, or times when typing fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving schedules.
