About Michelle
Michelle Hungler is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience helping people move through stressful and painful chapters. She focuses on clear, practical steps to ease anxiety, manage grief, and handle relationship struggles. Michelle aims to help people build self-esteem and stronger communication habits.
Her work often centers on attachment and trauma-related concerns. She supports people dealing with mood challenges, panic, obsessive thoughts, and feelings of emptiness.
How Michelle works
Michelle also addresses issues around body image, postpartum experiences, and recovery after sexual assault. She helps people untangle family-of-origin patterns and blended family dynamics without judgment. Common themes she sees include codependency, control issues, guilt and shame, and problems around trust or abandonment.
Fertility and infidelity concerns are also part of her practice. Michelle uses a collaborative, person-centered style. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on practical skills they can use between meetings.
She encourages self-compassion while working on behavior and communication changes. Taking a first step can feel daunting, and she frames therapy as a partnership. Michelle guides people toward clearer goals and tools for coping with life changes.
She works with clients in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Michelle practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and improve relationships. One common approach focuses on attachment-related patterns and how early relationships influence current responses; it helps people notice triggers and try new ways of connecting. Another approach targets mood and anxiety symptoms by teaching practical coping skills such as breathing strategies, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step exposure to reduce avoidance. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals and comfort level, adjusting methods over time based on what helps most. The process centers on small, measurable changes and regular check-ins about progress. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It often reduces travel time and lets people keep appointments around work or caregiving schedules.
