About Michelle

Michelle Mohn is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With nine years of professional experience, she draws on a strengths-based stance that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story and builds on existing resources to navigate difficult times. Her background includes substantial work supporting individuals affected by serious medical diagnoses and their caregivers, including experience with oncology-related concerns and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Michelle also addresses compassion fatigue, workplace challenges, self-esteem and body image concerns, and relational or family stressors, tailoring her support to the practical issues clients bring to sessions. Clinically she uses client-centered techniques alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and develop skills for coping and problem solving.

She practices in Illinois as an LCSW and offers a collaborative, respectful approach that aims to help people move toward greater meaning, resilience, and day-to-day well-being.

Practical Approaches for Online Healing and Change



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and mood-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to find their own solutions by building on personal strengths and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Michelle works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Over time she adjusts interventions based on what is most helpful, creating a tailored plan that blends skill-building and supportive reflection.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers related to travel or time constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care and practical tools for coping, while fitting therapy into a client's daily routine.
