01About Rebecca
Dr. Rebecca Michel holds a doctorate in Counseling and brings 16 years of professional experience to her practice. She is licensed in Illinois as an LCPC and combines coaching with therapy to help clients move toward clear goals.
She writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Rebecca often helps with stress and anxiety. She also supports people working through parenting pressures, career challenges, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with mood concerns, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and workplace issues. Her style centers on identifying strengths and using them as tools for change. She is a Gallup Certified Strengths Based Coach and uses that coaching perspective to highlight what already works.
She also integrates work around communication, forgiveness, and overcoming guilt and shame. Sessions focus on concrete skills and short-term goals when appropriate. Clients can expect straightforward conversations about next steps, practical strategies to try between sessions, and regular check-ins on progress.
Rebecca frames these efforts around each person’s values and life purpose. She offers several formats for remote work and supports people who live outside the United States. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's routine.
Rebecca aims to help people make steady, manageable progress toward their personal and professional aims.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Rebecca combines evidence-based techniques with coaching to help people make practical changes. One approach emphasizes identifying and building on personal strengths using Gallup's strengths framework. This helps people use what they already do well to manage stress, boost confidence, and tackle career decisions. Another common element focuses on skill-building for anxiety and mood management, using simple behavioral and coping strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with each person to match techniques to their goals and preferences. Together they try methods, check how they feel, and adjust the plan so it fits the client's life and aims.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins and the ability to touch base between longer sessions. These options help people fit work on healing into busy schedules and different routines.
