Michelle Opacic is a psychologist based in Sydney. She provides psychology support through the Nationwide Telehealth Service, so you can attend sessions from home across Sydney NSW 2000. Sessions are available in English and Serbian, which can be helpful if you’d rather talk in a language that feels more comfortable.
As a psychologist, Michelle focuses on helping people make sense of what they’re going through, and then find practical ways to cope. Many people see her for counselling when life feels too heavy, stressful, or confusing. At times, that can be about work pressures, family stress, sleep getting worse, or just feeling worn down day after day.
Michelle also looks at patterns that can keep things stuck. In many cases, she uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT is a structured, down-to-earth approach that helps you notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can link together. Once you can see the links, it’s easier to make small changes that add up over time. This can be especially useful if you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, or low mood.
Stress management is another big part of her work. Sessions may cover simple, real-life tools for managing stress in the moment, not just “thinking positive”. That might include ways to slow things down when your mind is racing, and strategies for handling day-to-day triggers. The goal is usually to help you feel more in control, even when things outside your control keep happening.
Michelle also does mental health assessments. These can help when you’re not sure what’s going on, or when symptoms have been hanging around for a while. An assessment can give clearer direction, and it can help plan the next steps in a calm, practical way.
Over time, therapy with Michelle is often about building skills you can use after the session ends. It’s not just about talking through problems. It’s also about learning ways to cope, setting goals that feel doable, and working out what helps you move forward.
