I am a licensed professional counselor in the states of Alabama, Virginia, and Georgia. I have over five years of experience working with adult women who struggle with challenges in life. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced spiritual growth and challenges. For clients who have substance abuse issues, I work with clients via telemental health who are presently in recovery and are sober.
One of my core values is unconditional positive regard. "Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care." Teddy Roosevelt
My counseling approach is integrative: I use Client-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, and Stages of Change as therapeutic interventions. These approaches will help clients to navigate through their challenges.

I highly recommend Michella as a therapist! I worked with her for a little under a year and she is super professional.
Michella has really good insight after listening to me explain concerns or bothers in my life. She also provides a lot of good resources to work on the goals of therapy outsides of the weekly sessions.

I’ve been seeing my therapist for a while now, and can truly say I’m thoroughly benefiting from the service. Mrs. Rahming is great at her job.

Michella Rahming is a very insightful counselor. Initially , I was receiving counseling to manage the loss of a friend due to covid . In the midst of my sessions , I had a mentor and teacher to expire as well . I was an emotional mess. Michella pivoted in the moment of the immedate loss and identified tools I needed . Her sessions helped me to sit with the grief and learn from it. I have had a tendency to not acknowledge grief/ loss fully. And it subsequently affected my physical health later.I appreciated the worksheets Michella gave for reflection. As well as, referrals to group seminars on the better help site and support groups in the community . I gained perspective, strategy and emotional support when I needed it most. Thanks Michella and Betterhelp.com

My therapist (Michelle Rahming) is everything! I’ve been in session for 2 weeks coming up on 3 and my therapist is a great listener, she’s empathetic, she make suggestions to help me find different ways (strategies) that can help me cope with what feelings I’m experiencing. She has help me more ways than she even know. It’s always great to have someone listen to you, and not be judgmental but get down to the root of the problem. I look forward to my sessions, sharing my feelings. I am so grateful for my therapist for helping me heal through past and present trauma. No one said it would be easy but no one said it’s impossible either. I could say so much more but I’ll save some room for others to chime in. Thank you so much I really appreciate you

I am feeling better about myself and I think it has alot to do with this therapy. I no I haven't been doing it long but I am noticing a difference in myself. Also I love how she talks to me. I was afraid a therapist would expect me to do all the talking but Michella talks to me. And relates to me. I really like her and the worksheets she sends me. Some I find difficult but she encourages me to just do my best. She seems to send the exact information I need at the time. She is very responsive to my messages and she cares about my well being and what is best for my mental health instead of just a paycheck.
