Michele Gudknecht

Over the past six years, I have dedicated myself to providing therapeutic services as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My expertise lies in assisting individuals in effectively managing anxiety, depression, and various daily life challenges. I employ a diverse range of therapeutic modalities to empower my clients in achieving their therapeutic objectives and goals towards living with a healthy mindset.

My approach to therapy is integrative, client-centered, and collaborative. I believe that each person is unique, so I tailor my methods to meet the individual needs, goals, and strengths of each client. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

I draw from well-researched modalities such as:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to help identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns.

Mindfulness-Based Approaches – to cultivate present-moment awareness and emotional regulation.

Trauma-Informed Care – to ensure safety, empowerment, and sensitivity to past experiences.

Attachment and Relational Work – to explore how early relationships influence current ones.

I view therapy as a partnership. We work together to set goals, explore challenges, and celebrate progress. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I help clients recognize and build on their existing strengths. I consider the whole person—mind, body, relationships, and environment—when exploring challenges and solutions.
