About Michelle
Michelle Kunick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky. She has been providing clinical support since 2018 and brings a warm, relational style to sessions. Michelle focuses on helping people manage addictions, trauma, mood concerns, and relationship stress.
She uses a person-centered, strengths-based approach that starts with listening. Sessions are collaborative - clients and Michelle set goals together and pick practical steps to try. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and kindness.
Background and approach
Michelle mixes several methods to fit each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness practices to build awareness and coping. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior work for emotional regulation and the Gottman Method for relationship skills when relevant.
In practical terms, Michelle helps people learn new ways to think, act, and relate. That may mean building communication skills, managing cravings, reducing anxiety, or working through grief and past trauma. Sessions are tailored so skills can be used in everyday life.
Her style is interactive and supportive. Michelle emphasizes collaboration and clear, doable strategies. People who want a compassionate clinician who helps translate insight into action may find her approach a good fit.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Michelle uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication. That approach focuses on building specific skills, improving dialogue, and decreasing conflict so couples and partners can interact more calmly and clearly.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace. This helps people feel heard while they explore goals and decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will talk with the client about needs, preferences, and goals, then combine methods that fit the situation. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets therapists and clients work closely on communication and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or scheduling is limited. Messaging and live chat are useful for shorter check-ins, sharing coping strategies, and maintaining momentum between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical.
