Michelle Mohn, LCSW

Michelle Mohn, LCSW, focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and the heavy days that follow loss or big life changes. She works in a straightforward, supportive way and respects each person’s experience. Michelle invites clients to use their own strengths as part of healing and change.

With nine years of professional experience, Michelle brings a background in supporting people through serious medical events and caregiving challenges. She has spent years helping clients navigate life during and after major diagnoses, and she has helped people who face compassion fatigue from caring roles. Her work often centers on practical ways to cope when routines and roles shift.

Michelle blends client-centered talk therapy with elements of cognitive behavioral therapy. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, with concrete steps to manage anxious thoughts, rebuild confidence, and handle workplace or money stress. She helps clients practice new skills between sessions to make steady progress.

People who seek her support can expect a calm, honest approach that values their goals. Michelle listens for what is working and for obstacles, then collaborates on small, realistic changes. That might look like reframing a persistent worry, building a daily coping plan, or sorting priorities after loss.

She practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How Michelle Uses Talk Therapy and Skill-Building Online

Michelle blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that are easy to follow. Client-centered therapy means conversations focus on the client’s goals and experience, with the therapist listening and reflecting so the client can find their own answers. Cognitive behavioral therapy is more structured and teaches ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable. Together they shape a plan that may include short practical exercises, thought records, or new routines to try between sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make regular follow-up easier after a hospital stay or during caregiving periods. Ask about specific session formats when you schedule so you know what will work best for your routine and needs.
