About Michele

Michele Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with nearly three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and concerns about self-esteem. Michele also supports people dealing with trauma, sexual assault and veteran or armed forces issues in therapy.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She works alongside clients to identify strengths and build skills that help with daily challenges. Sessions often include tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and teach emotional regulation skills.

Background and approach

Michele also uses trauma-focused methods and incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, when appropriate, to address distressing memories and symptoms that follow trauma. She explains options clearly and helps clients decide what feels right for them. Many people come for short-term support around a specific problem.

Others prefer longer work on patterns that reduce confidence or interfere with relationships and work. Michele adapts pacing to match a person’s goals and comfort level. She invites people to take the first step even when it feels hard.

How Michele's Approaches Work Online

Many of Michele's methods translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, with short exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, and parts of that work can be adapted to video or phone formats when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele discusses goals and concerns during early sessions and collaborates with each person to decide which tools and methods to use. She adjusts techniques over time based on how someone responds and what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and in-depth conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support between sessions and let people share brief updates or ask questions without scheduling a full appointment.
