About Michal

Dr. Michal Jorgens brings a warm, collaborative presence to therapy and focuses on helping people reduce stress, anxiety, and addictive patterns while improving self-esteem and emotional wellbeing.

Background and approach

She practices from Minnesota and offers a respectful, client-centered stance that prioritizes listening and understanding each person’s perspective. With 28 years of professional experience as a licensed psychologist (MN Psychologist LP4502), she combines longstanding clinical work with training in several therapeutic methods to tailor care to individual needs.

Her style is informal and relationship-focused, emphasizing the therapeutic connection as the foundation for change. Dr.

Jorgens draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-informed techniques, and client-centered approaches alongside other modalities to address concerns ranging from depression, trauma, and grief to intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and caregiver stress.

She aims to collaborate with clients to identify practical strategies and insights that fit their goals and life circumstances, acknowledging that reaching out for help is often a challenging step. Clients can expect a practitioner who values respect, clear communication, and mutual problem-solving while applying her clinical background to find solutions that feel relevant and achievable.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that meet you where you are

Dr. Jorgens integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work in ways that emphasize practical change and relational understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is focused on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early care experiences to improve emotional regulation and connection in current relationships.

She approaches choosing methods collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals and preferences, then adapts strategies from CBT and attachment-informed work to match individual needs rather than assuming one fixed path.

Online therapy with Dr. Jorgens is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow for ongoing, practical support that fits into everyday life.
