Professional statement

Michelle Woolever, LMHC-D works with adolescents and adults who are navigating life transitions or coping with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Many of the clients she works with are seeking to better understand themselves, feel more grounded, and create meaningful change in their lives. Whether you’re adjusting to a new phase of life, feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or wanting to strengthen your sense of self, therapy can be a supportive space to explore and grow.

Michelle Woolever, LMHC-D, uses a therapeutic approach that is collaborative and integrative, meaning you will work together to find what best fits your unique needs and goals. She draws from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to guide treatment interventions . You'll explore the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to increase self-awareness and help shift unhelpful patterns. The goal is to help develop tools for greater clarity, resilience, and self-acceptance so you can move toward the life you want to live.

Michelle Woolever is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience providing therapy to individuals in community mental health settings, child-serving systems, and private practice. She values creating a space grounded in empathy, authenticity, and ethical care. She has specialized training in trauma-informed care and DBT while continuing to engage in continuing education to guide professional development.

Michelle Woolever, LMHC-D, offers virtual sessions for individuals across New York State, as well as limited in-person appointments at an office in Camillus, NY. Sessions are 50–60 minutes long. She is in-network with several providers (see insurance/fees section). She also accepts out-of-network clients and can provide a Super-Bill for possible reimbursement. A sliding scale is available to help make therapy more accessible.


Message to clients

If you're reading this, it means you are considering taking a step toward growth, healing, or simply finding a bit of peace and support in an otherwise hectic world. I believe in the incredible power of creating a safe, non-judgmental space for all clients. A place where you can be fully yourself and be truly heard. It's within that environment that meaningful change becomes possible. You don't have to have it all figured out, you just need a willingness to show up for yourself. Whatever you're carrying, you are not alone. Together, we will work at your pace, honoring your experiences, and build a path forward that makes sense for you. Healing is possible; growth is real, and you are worthy of both. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
