About Michele
Michele Gayle is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and addiction concerns. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief, relationship challenges, parenting strain, and struggles with self esteem. Michele aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Michele keeps sessions focused on the person in front of her. She tailors conversation and any plan to what a client actually needs. Sessions cover practical coping skills, ways to handle strong emotions, and steps to change unhelpful patterns. She pays attention to life demands like work and caregiving when shaping goals.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Michele listens first, then helps people set short-term and longer-term goals. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and build everyday skills. Progress is reviewed together so plans stay relevant.
Michele has worked with people affected by ADHD, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, and career stress. She also supports those exploring LGBT concerns and people navigating family conflict. Her aim is to help clients find clearer ways forward and regain a sense of control.
People who choose Michele typically want direct, practical help rather than abstract discussion. She encourages small, concrete steps and checks in about what is or isn’t working. Taking the first step can feel hard; Michele offers steady support through that process.
