Michelle Woodison-Evans

Michelle Woodison-Evans is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 34 years of experience. She helps people facing addiction, relationship stress, family conflict, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, anxiety, isolation, and questions about purpose and identity.

She sees individuals dealing with mood challenges, panic, and posttraumatic stress. She helps clients untangle attachment patterns, communication problems, and issues around self-worth. She also assists people through major life changes like divorce, pregnancy, caregiving stress, and financial strain.

Her style is compassionate and straightforward. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult memories and decisions at their own pace.

Michelle uses methods that encourage understanding how thoughts, emotions, and relationships connect. That can mean learning coping skills, practicing new ways to communicate, and identifying patterns that keep problems repeating. She blends different approaches to match what each person needs.

Counseling from a non-denominational Christian perspective is available on request. People who prefer plain talk and concrete tools will find a clear, steady approach built on years of clinical experience.

How her approaches translate to online work

Michelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems to help people understand patterns and change them. CBT focuses on how thoughts and behaviors affect mood, offering concrete skills to manage anxiety, mood problems, and impulsive reactions. Internal Family Systems helps people identify different parts of themselves and reduce inner conflict, which can be useful for attachment issues, shame, and trauma responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during the initial match about how sessions can be scheduled to match your routines and needs.
