Michelle Brown

Michelle Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Michelle also addresses chronic pain and illness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions around life purpose.

She takes a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. Michelle uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment-Based Therapy. In conversation she helps people map current patterns, try small behavior changes, and notice what matters most to them.

Sessions often include clear strategies for managing intense emotions and short-term techniques for calming panic or anxious thoughts. She works with clients to set small, achievable goals and to build routines that fit everyday life. Michelle pays attention to how relationships and past attachments affect present choices.

Her work is aimed at people who feel stuck after a change, uncertain about next steps in work or life, or worn down by ongoing stress. Michelle helps clients sort priorities and test new ways of acting, rather than offering quick fixes.

She practices in Texas and communicates in English. The therapist uses evidence-based tools while keeping sessions practical and focused on what a person can do between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and questions about life purpose because it shifts focus from fighting thoughts to choosing valued actions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression because it gives practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and routines.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be helpful for people who experience panic, emotional overwhelm, or repeated high-stress reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to match methods to needs, goals, and personal preferences. That process may include trying different tools and noticing what helps most in day-to-day life.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is difficult, and reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling preferences and practical needs during the initial matching steps so sessions suit everyday life.
