Michelle King-Thompson

Michelle King-Thompson is a Texas Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Michelle also helps people who are questioning life purpose or facing major transitions such as divorce or caregiving stress.

She talks through trauma, grief, and attachment concerns in clear, direct ways. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage panic, mood swings, and chronic pain symptoms that affect daily life. She addresses relationship patterns like abandonment, control issues, impulsivity, and difficulties with communication.

Michelle supports body image, sexuality, pregnancy and childbirth related worries, and the emotional strain that comes with caregiving. She also helps people sort through money and workplace stress, and the isolation that can follow big life shifts. These topics are handled without technical jargon and with attention to what feels doable in everyday routines.

Her style is collaborative; she works alongside clients to set small, measurable goals. Conversations may include skills for coping, strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings, and steps to rebuild connection with others. The emphasis is on concrete tools rather than abstract theory.

Clients considering therapy are asked to use the contact flow on the site to match and schedule a first session. Michelle offers care in English and practices in Texas as an LCSW. International clients are not currently accepted.

Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help

Michelle uses evidence-based techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is working on skills to manage intense emotions and anxiety; this involves learning short breathing and grounding practices, facing triggers gradually, and building ways to reduce panic and overwhelm. It can help with panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood swings.

Another frequent focus is processing trauma and attachment concerns by talking through past experiences and how they show up now. This work often includes identifying unhelpful relationship patterns, practicing new ways to communicate, and slowly reshaping how people respond to abandonment or trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist discusses options with each person, considers their goals and preferences, and together they decide what to try first. That collaborative process lets the plan change as needs evolve.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life while the therapist and client work on the chosen therapeutic approach.
