Michelle Mohn

Michelle Mohn is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and works to make the first steps feel manageable. Michelle emphasizes each person’s strengths and supports practical change toward a more satisfying life.

Michelle has nine years of professional experience and practices in Illinois. She has worked extensively with people coping with serious illness and the changes that a diagnosis brings. That background includes work with hospice, end-of-life counseling, and caregiver stress related to long-term health issues.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Michelle uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen, reflect, and build goals that matter to the client. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behavior.

In sessions she focuses on real-world skills for managing anxiety, improving self-esteem, and handling workplace or financial strain. She also supports people dealing with body image concerns, isolation or loneliness, and forgiveness work.

Michelle’s work includes supporting those facing cancer, chronic pain or disability, and grief after a loss. She often helps caregivers and professionals experiencing compassion fatigue find better balance and coping strategies. Her style is cooperative and strength-based, aiming to help clients move forward step by step.

How client-centered and CBT approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive therapeutic relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps shape goals that feel meaningful to the person. This approach can help with feelings of isolation, self-esteem, and making sense of life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. CBT is practical and skills-focused, useful for managing anxiety, low mood, or situations where changing day-to-day habits can make a difference.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She uses client feedback to adjust the pace and focus over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care during health changes or when managing caregiving responsibilities.
