She emphasizes clients' own strengths and perspectives, approaching each situation with respect for the person’s lived experience and their goals for change.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical work, Michelle draws on practical interventions while centering the client as the expert in their story. Her practice includes support for challenges such as compassion fatigue, relationship and family difficulties, career and workplace concerns, and coping with serious illness.

Michelle also addresses related areas like body image, chronic pain and disability, caregiver stress, money and financial issues, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. She holds an LCSW and is licensed in Illinois and Florida, bringing both training and hands-on experience to clinical conversations.

Michelle frames the therapeutic journey as a collaborative process, offering guidance and evidence-informed tools while helping clients uncover resilience and clearer direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michelle uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative environment where the person's values and experience guide the work; this approach emphasizes validation, active listening, and building on existing strengths to pursue meaningful change. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, stress, and difficulties with mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works together with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining empathic support with skill-building so that clients feel involved in choosing what helps most.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other locations, support continuity of care during life transitions, and allow follow-up between live sessions using messaging or chat when helpful.
