Michelle Campopiano is working toward a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Southern New Hampshire University and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Nevada, Reno. She brings ten years of experience in social and service-based environments to her counseling practice, seeing adult clients via telehealth under licensed supervision.
Her Approach
Michelle works with adults. Her clients are often people whose identity, whether queer, trans, or otherwise outside what most institutions expect, has made them cautious about therapy, because too many past therapists treated who they are as the thing that needed to be addressed. She works with people navigating gender identity, relationship dynamics in non-traditional structures, and the anxiety that accumulates when you spend too much of your life translating yourself for people who should already understand you.
Michelle’s approach is humanistic and strengths-based, which in practice means she begins with who the client already is. Ten years in social and service-based environments gave her consistent exposure to people navigating real and structural challenges, and that background shapes how she understands anxiety, relationship stress, and what it means to search for support without finding a therapist who understands your context. She is explicitly affirming of LGBTQ+ clients across the full spectrum of gender and sexuality, including those in non-monogamous relationships and sex workers seeking a therapist who approaches their life without judgment.
