Michelle Chabot, LPC

Michelle Chabot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on helping people navigate relationship and family challenges. She creates a calm space to share what’s happening and works alongside clients to set goals and find practical next steps. Michelle aims to help people regain a sense of hope and direction when life feels overwhelming.

She listens for the deeper meaning behind words and pays attention to emotions people may not name at first. Michelle uses that understanding to help clients make sense of past hurts, current struggles, and the changes they want for the future. Conversations are geared toward clear, achievable steps rather than vague advice.

Michelle earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in professional counseling, and she holds a Colorado LPC. Her background includes 12 years of service in the Air Force, which shapes how she understands career transitions, relocation stress, and trauma related to military life. That experience also informs her work with veterans and first responders.

In practice she has worked with individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents on issues such as depression, anxiety, communication, self-esteem, trauma, and grief. She has also led support groups for fertility loss, miscarriage, and related reproductive concerns.

Her style blends practical problem solving with emotional reflection. Michelle helps people build resilience, strengthen relationships, and develop confidence through skills, discussion, and small achievable changes.

How Michelle’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Michelle blends evidence-based methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and replacing them with practical actions that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

She also uses solution-focused ideas that center on what a person wants to achieve now. Those techniques help set small, measurable goals and track progress toward concrete outcomes like improved communication or better sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation may shift over time as goals change or progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The main practical benefit is flexibility - online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or allow for a quick check-in during a break. They can also accommodate people who need consistent care while managing relocation or work demands. Licensed professionals adapt methods like skills practice, homework tasks, and goal reviews to the online setting so clients can keep moving toward their goals without needing to attend in person.
