Work with Dr. Michelle Davis (DBH, MA, LPC) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

About Me

I am a professional counselor, certified executive, and health coach. I have nine years of experience helping others overcome challenges and create purposeful, meaningful lives. I have worked with clients with various concerns, including chronic pain, chronic illness, stress, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, family problems, and career challenges. Many individuals I have worked with have had traumatic experiences.

As a counselor and coach, one of my greatest strengths includes noticing and appreciating each person's unique characteristics. I do not treat everyone using the same approach because each person's response to stress, motivation to change, decision-making, relationship building, and thinking styles are unique. As a result, I customize my approach accordingly. I draw from my extensive training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Neuroscience, Motivational Interviewing, Positive (Strengths-based) Psychology, Mind-Body Medicine, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to draw out the best in you.

I view the therapeutic environment as a safe place to explore relationships, whether those relationships are with people (family, co-workers, partner) or things (food, money, alcohol). I also believe an important part of therapy is addressing the social, economic, and cultural influences on a person and that the process of therapy should be a collaborative one, with the client seen as the “expert” on their life.

It takes great courage to take the first steps toward change, seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and determine your personal goals. But, if you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you on this journey to create your best life.

I look forward to working with you!

I had never been to any kind of therapy before connecting with Dr. Davis, so I was very nervous. But let me tell you, she is wonderful. She really listens and understands and helps you think about things in a whole new way.

Dr. Davis is AMAZING! I feel strongly supported, she listens attentively, provides good feedback relating to me and what could be best for me, she takes notes and takes the time to remember few details. I love my experience with her. I would recommend her 1000000000000/100. Super happy and satisfied.

Dr. Michelle Davis has a heart and spirit of compassion. Her energy is one of a kind which makes it possible for her to listen and absorb then interpret my thoughts and make them make sense. I am grateful for our connection at such a hard time in my life.

Amazing therapist, amazing person overall. I only spoke with her for about 20 mins, and she was upfront and honest about the type of therapist I would need and be best for my situation in order to be successfull and grow in therapy. She is very kind, gracious, and intuitive to peoples needs and genuinly cares about the outcome of her patients is what I got from our brief session and that should speak volumes. I would highly recommend her and you'd be lucky to have her
