About Michele

Michele Lackey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 29 years of clinical experience.

Her work also includes support for depression and focused care for veterans, members of the armed forces, and survivors of sexual assault.

Michele approaches therapy with the conviction that each person is the architect of their own story and already possesses strengths that can be used to navigate life’s challenges. She blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a respectful, supportive stance to help clients identify goals and develop skills for lasting change. Michele recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and vulnerability, and she aims to make the process collaborative and empowering. She looks forward to assisting people as they take steps toward greater resilience and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to change reactions and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, making it useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and anger management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact, often used when trauma and abuse are central concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Michele collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so therapy remains aligned with what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to access consistent care around work, family, or travel schedules. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, structured treatment through these modalities, helping clients move toward their goals without sacrificing convenience.
