As a therapist, I have a deep passion for supporting others through their journey towards general wellbeing. I place strong emphasis on total holistic wellness as well as creating a safe, inclusive and nonjudgemental space as we work together to help you overcome roadblocks and achieve your goals.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a decade of experience in psychiatric social work as well as hospital based social work. I have experience with intimate partner violence support, refugee and immigrant work, and end-of-life care. I am passionate about helping people through periods of life transitions such as becoming a new parent, caregiving for an aging parent, and processing grief and bereavement. I am an open-minded ally with passion for social justice and healing.
H, I'm Dr. Michelle Echols and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's and Doctorate in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and more than a decade of experience helping people untangle some of life's most complicated moments — relationship struggles, family tension, substance use, and the rollercoaster that comes with being a teenager.
My sweet spots are teens, couples, and families. I genuinely love this work, and I especially love watching people who felt stuck start to move again.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Missouri-St Louis. I have 27 years of clinical experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families across a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral challenges, and relationship issues.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Saint Charles, MO
Finding therapists in Saint Charles starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. If you have a specific preference, such as couples counseling, marriage counseling, Christian counseling, or care from a psychologist, look for that experience in each therapist’s profile. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Saint Charles has local therapy options, but the number of nearby therapists may be more limited than in larger Missouri cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Missouri. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Saint Charles can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, see estimated costs before you book, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
