Michelle Smith, BA, MA Candidate in Marriage and Family Therapy
Clinical Intern
My name is Michelle Smith, and I have completed my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. I am continuing my clinical training and professional development at Cumberland Counseling as a Clinical Intern while working toward becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
At Cumberland Counseling, I work with individuals, couples, and families, supporting clients as they navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, emotional concerns, and other experiences that may impact their well-being. My approach is client-centered, culturally responsive, and holistic, with an emphasis on creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
​
My graduate training has provided me with a strong foundation in systemic and relational approaches to therapy, including Foundations of Couple and Family Therapy, Systemic Family Therapy Theory and Practice, Couple and Marital Therapy, Adolescent Psychology, and Psychopathology: Diagnosis and Treatment of Behavioral Disorders. I have also completed advanced residency training and coursework in professional ethics, further strengthening my preparation for ethical and effective clinical practice.
