About Michelle
Michelle Halberg is a licensed clinician who brings 15 years of experience to work with adults facing big life changes. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and coping when life shifts in unexpected ways. Michelle practices in Nevada and speaks English.
She helps people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Sessions often focus on slowing down, naming difficult feelings, and building simple tools to manage stress and anxiety.
How Michelle works
Michelle emphasizes practical steps you can use between meetings. Her approach blends mindfulness-based stress reduction with creative expression and animal-assisted activities. Mindfulness practices are used to notice thoughts and physical reactions.
Creative activities help people access feelings when words are hard. Animal-assisted work is used when it fits a person's needs and can make it easier to relax and engage. Together with clients, she looks for ways to break unhelpful thinking patterns and strengthen emotional regulation.
The goal is to help people feel more balanced and in charge of daily life. Michelle also addresses concerns that often come with aging, relationship changes, and complex emotional patterns such as codependency, guilt, or jealousy. She aims to tailor sessions around each person's situation and priorities.

Online support options
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Michelle uses mindfulness-based stress reduction and creative expression as core parts of her work. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to notice stress and reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety and overwhelming emotions. Creative expression brings art, writing, or other activities into sessions to access feelings when words fall short and to practice new ways of responding.Animal-assisted activities are also part of her approach when appropriate, offering a calming presence that can make engagement easier for some people. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what fits best together over time.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect from a convenient location. Licensed professionals can use these formats to continue mindfulness exercises, guide creative tasks, and weave animal-assisted elements into the conversation when feasible.
