About Michelle
Michelle Hoff is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as a central part of her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family concerns, and cope with grief, addiction, and major life changes. Her style is direct and compassionate and she aims to make conversations feel safe and clear.
Michelle draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions often look at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. With a decade of experience in mental health, Michelle has supported people through trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, and depression.
She also works with concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care impacts, blended family strain, codependency, and substance use problems. Michelle frames therapy as a team process. She listens for what the client values, then tailors practical steps that fit daily life.
That might mean short skill practice between sessions, clearer communication tools, or grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm. Therapy is offered in a few different formats to fit schedules and needs. Michelle works from Nebraska and conducts sessions in English.
She does not take clients outside the United States.

Online support
Using Emotion and Attachment Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and learn new ways to connect in relationships. It can be useful when emotions keep getting in the way of calm, close interactions or when past hurts shape today's reactions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current behavior and trust. It helps people see patterns in how they relate to others and practice different responses that build safety and closeness.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's pace, which supports steady progress toward the goals the client sets.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and together decide which combination of EFT, attachment ideas, CBT tools, or mindfulness fits best. That collaborative process makes sessions more practical and personally relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper, face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins, and different ways to practice skills outside sessions.
