Michelle Adler, LPC

Michelle Adler is a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related issues. She emphasizes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to work from. Michelle aims to support people who want a more satisfying life and to take that first brave step toward change.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for what matters most and helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and habits. Conversations focus on practical steps that can fit into daily life, and on building skills to manage strong emotions and difficult moments.

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, adapting methods to a person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula. She helps with concerns such as ADHD, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and career stress. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, forgiveness, and coping with life changes.

Sessions explore how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behavior. Michelle supports people working through grief, trauma, and complex feelings such as guilt and shame. She also offers coaching-style support for people aiming to make practical changes in work or relationships.

Michelle works with English-speaking clients in Pennsylvania. She invites prospective clients to reflect on goals before starting and to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques can fit into online therapy

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts and everyday habits. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to test them. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and habit change. Another approach emphasizes building practical routines and coping skills to manage stress, sleep, and attention difficulties. That work often involves setting concrete goals and practicing new behaviors between sessions.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist listens to a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggests techniques to try. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust the plan over time. The process is collaborative and goal-oriented to match each person’s needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people continue therapy while managing work, parenting, or other commitments. Licensed professionals can help decide which approach and session rhythm will best support everyday life.
