Michelle Chabot , LPC

Michelle Chabot is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado who brings a blend of military experience and clinical training to her work with individuals, couples, families, and young people. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Professional Counseling, and she uses that educational background to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their past, present, and future.

Having served 12 years in the Air Force and as a combat veteran, she understands life changes related to military service - including relocation, career transitions, and the unique stressors facing service members and their families. That background informs her approach when supporting clients through trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and transitions. Michelle has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, communication struggles, self-esteem concerns, intimacy and relationship issues, addictions, and trauma and abuse, among other concerns.

She has also facilitated support groups addressing infertility, miscarriage and stillbirth, unplanned pregnancies, and related reproductive losses. Michelle focuses on resilience building through relationship strengthening, confidence development, premarital counseling, and individualized goals clients identify during therapy. Her additional areas of focus include caregiver stress, adoption and foster care topics, first responder and veteran issues, and common life stressors such as career and financial concerns.

Clinically, Michelle primarily draws on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to help clients reframe thoughts and construct healthier patterns. She also incorporates client-centered techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness practices to better understand each person’s experience and collaborate on practical strategies for growth. LPC is the credential she holds - Licensed Professional Counselor - reflecting her training and authorization to practice counseling in Colorado.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Michelle often integrates Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy into remote sessions. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy helps identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their experiences, helping clients reframe those narratives to support healing and growth. She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to quickly identify practical steps and strengths that move clients toward specific goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with each person’s values and circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who can guide treatment and support progress.
