Michelle Hammock, LIMHP

Michelle Hammock is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska. She has six years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, addiction, OCD, ADHD, trauma, and relationship struggles. Michelle aims to meet clients with respect and a warm, interactive manner so they feel heard from the first session.

She uses clear, practical techniques to help people manage symptoms and rebuild everyday functioning. Sessions focus on real problems and concrete steps rather than labels. Michelle blends client-centered care with cognitive and mindfulness-based tools to help clients notice patterns and try new responses.

Her background includes work with people coping with substance use issues, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and compulsive behaviors. She also addresses parenting stress, career strain, grief, jealousy, and first responder concerns. Michelle draws on a range of approaches to match the work to each person’s needs.

In sessions she listens closely and offers straightforward skills to try between meetings. She encourages small, manageable changes and tracks progress together. The aim is to help clients regain a sense of control and move toward goals at a comfortable pace.

Michelle welcomes conversations about goals and what a realistic plan might look like. Prospective clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental setting and a focus on practical strategies that fit daily life.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own solutions. This approach can help anyone who wants to feel understood and make choices that match their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and many everyday problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It gives concrete tools for handling intense feelings and improving relationships. These skills can be useful for impulse control, anger, and mood instability.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change over time as different techniques are tried and evaluated together.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session formats before booking since they are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for timing, session length, and how to practice skills between meetings.
