About Michelle
She uses a positive psychology perspective to help people notice strengths and build on them. Sessions typically involve straightforward talk, practical strategies, and reflection on values and goals. Michelle encourages small, manageable steps rather than sweeping plans.
Her work often covers relationship communication, blended family challenges, and money or control issues that affect daily life. She also supports people dealing with midlife questions, separation and divorce, and the emotional fallout of big changes. Michelle names concerns such as guilt, shame, impulsivity, and self-harm among the topics she addresses.
Michelle also notes experience with autism and Asperger syndrome and with intellectual disability, and she helps people manage avoidant personality patterns. She frames these areas in terms of problem-solving, behavior change, and clearer self-understanding rather than labels alone.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. People can expect a focus on building resilience, improving self-esteem, and clarifying what matters next. The therapist works in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Michelle describes her approach through a positive psychology perspective, which focuses on identifying strengths and building on them. In practice this means conversations that point out useful habits, values-based goal setting, and exercises to increase confidence and day-to-day functioning. This approach is often helpful for people dealing with low self-esteem, life purpose questions, and recovery after major changes.She also uses practical problem-solving techniques that break larger issues into manageable steps. That might look like mapping a particular stressor, testing small behavior changes, and reviewing what worked. These techniques are useful for parenting challenges, communication problems, and managing impulsivity or control issues.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate on an approach that fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust methods when something isn’t helping.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or choose video when face-to-face interaction is helpful.
