When singing and playing a 12 string, the voice is overpowered by the guitar, even when singing pretty directly into the mic. Room treatment will likely help a lot with that.
Yes a 12 string is a different animal
Arguably it is putting out twice the sound energy from the same amount of physical energy put into playing technique.

So while Room treatment may help reduce the level of reflected energy

Altering your playing technique will accomplish more and or perhaps altering mic position as well
#1 learn to play the 12 with less relative energy.
#2 instead of having the mic straight up and down vertically , try angling back and up towards you mouth Or try having it positioned horizontally (just below mouth) and rotate it more upward.
