Michelle Cohen Negri

Michelle Cohen Negri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with three years of practice. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, and self-esteem issues. She also addresses life purpose questions alongside related areas like attachment, body image, and caregiver stress.

Her background as a former professional athlete informs a focus on discipline, resilience, and practical skills. Sessions emphasize clear, doable steps rather than abstract talk. Clients can expect discussions that identify strengths and barriers, then test small changes that fit everyday life.

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in sessions. She draws on methods such as cognitive-behavioral strategies and skills for emotional regulation to help people manage distress and rethink unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce overwhelm.

Work is collaborative and goal-oriented. Conversations often cover what is working now, what gets in the way, and which values matter most. From there she helps shape realistic actions that align with those values and the client’s daily routine.

Her clinical range includes trauma-related responses, mood concerns, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth related stress, and issues common to women’s lives. She also helps with communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and questions about sexuality and self-love.

Sessions are conducted in English in Florida. Prospective clients who want to proceed select the See online therapy options button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic techniques and how they translate to online work

Michelle uses cognitive-behavioral approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT provides structured tools for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and stress by testing small changes and tracking results.

She also integrates emotional regulation skills derived from dialectical behavior approaches to teach concrete strategies for handling intense emotions and improving communication. Mindfulness practices are offered in short exercises to increase awareness and reduce reactivity in daily life.

Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the work. Michelle approaches this collaboratively, adjusting methods based on a person’s needs, goals, and what feels practical in their day-to-day routine. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to try and how to measure progress.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some approaches translate well to brief skills practice between meetings, while others use longer sessions for deeper processing. Discussing format and timing during the first meeting helps shape sessions that fit a client’s life and goals.
