01About Michelle
Michelle Waguespack is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, career questions, and life changes. She also supports those facing relationship and parenting challenges, blended family issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and codependency. Michelle writes plainly and listens with warmth so people feel heard from the first visit.
Michelle has twelve years of counseling experience across university, business, and independent practice settings.
Background and approach
Her graduate work focused on marriage and family, and she later developed a specialty in career counseling. She has worked with people at many stages of career change and with those trying to balance work and life demands. In sessions she uses practical, collaborative methods.
Michelle leans on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what the person brings to the room. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and Solution-Focused Therapy for goal-oriented steps forward. Her style is straightforward and non-judgmental.
Conversations focus on clear goals, small experiments, and skills people can use between meetings. Michelle helps people build confidence, improve communication, reduce anxiety, and navigate transitions. Therapy is offered in English.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and are scheduled after completing a short matching questionnaire and selecting a time that works for the client.

How Michelle blends therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person. This approach helps when people need a non-judgmental space to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, achievable steps so people can see progress quickly and build momentum.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. She uses that conversation to shape sessions and chooses tools collaboratively rather than imposing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to process between longer sessions. These options are intended to make therapy fit into a client's life and schedule.
