After just two weeks of therapy with Michelle, I feel so much better, lighter, happier, and healthier. I have a smile on my face again. It’s so nice to look forward to talking with her because I know she is truly listening to me. We connect on so many levels and she understands my concerns about chronic pain. She has been making my first experience with therapy so positive!

Hello!
My name is Michelle Walsh and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience. I graduated from Rutgers University in 2008 with my BA in social work. I graduated from Fordham University's advanced standing program in 2009 and earned my masters degree in social work and specialized in substance abuse. I have experience working in private practice, outpatient mental health clinics and have also worked in a homeless shelter as well. In addition I have experience working with veterans and their family members. In my ten years of experience I have enjoyed providing my clients with group and individual therapy. I have experience treating clients who have struggled with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, substance abuse issues, and relationship difficulties just to name a few. I also have a special interest in holistic treatment and modalities such as meditation and I am a certified Reiki Master as well. I believe that what is most important is the relationship and connection you have with the provider you are working with. I am looking forward to getting to know you and helping you identify areas of concern that we can work on together. I will be there to listen and support you but most importantly I will help you identify tools and resources you can utilize outside of our sessions that you can implement to help yourself.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Michelle is great! From the start she’s made me feel comfortable and heard. I would recommend her to anyone!
Michelle is absolutely AMAZING! I’ve been a client of hers for almost a year and a half and she’s been such a great resource for me to work out my anxiety and daily stresses. Given how hectic the past 18 months have been, I’m confident in saying that I wouldn’t have been able to navigate the challenges I’ve been facing without Michelle’s guidance and expertise. If I could rate her an 11/10 I would!!
I’ve been working with Michelle for about 9 months now and I couldn’t be happier with her. I’ve worked with many therapists throughout my life and while I have considered several to be good therapists, I have never benefitted as much from those experiences as I have from working with Michelle. She is exceptionally competent, caring, reliable, and professional. I feel secure in knowing that I can reach out to her at anytime and she always responds within hours with a caring and helpful response. Additionally, we schedule weekly live chat sessions, which I have found to be incredibly helpful every time. In the time we have worked together, I have been able to decrease my depression and anxiety greatly, and increase my confidence. I am so grateful to Michelle for helping me to make so many positive changes in my life.
Michelle is phenomenal and actively listens/provides insight to interpret how I’m feeling. 10/10!!
Michelle is by far the best counselor I’ve had. After every session I feel like I’ve learned something about myself and that I have a better understanding of how I can keep improving.
Michelle is compassionate, empathetic, patient, and kind. I really appreciate all the things she does to make sure I know that she’s available and accessible, esp. bc I don’t often reach out except for our meetings. She checks in on me in between meetings, and gives me good insight about my issues. I really appreciate her.
She is one of the best, if not the best counselor’s I’ve had. I feel like she truly understands me and understands what I am feeling. She is always making me question myself as a way to help me realize how deeply I have tangled things in my head.
Michelle has been great and very supportive.
Michelle checks in on me throughout the week. That means so much. She’s always super positive. She speaks to me like a friend. She doesn’t act like she’s better than I am because I’m seeking help from her. I’m very happy with her.
Michelle is a great listener and very experienced in the field. Her help has been extremely helpful in these difficult times. I appreciate her effort to keep in touch with her patients and her feedback is always valuable.
Michelle is awesome. Very down to earth and is a great listener. She checks in on me and never makes me feel like a burden. Highly recommend!
She's AMAZING!!
Michelle is great! She always checks in with me throughout the week to see how I'm doing and every weekly session is productive and really helps me. She also sends me a lot of articles that help me understand things better and work through what I need to. During our weekly sessions, she always makes sure that we're discussing the topics that are important to me and makes sure that we've covered everything that I wanted to. I would highly recommend her!
I’ve only had a few sessions with Michelle and it is already so clear that she really cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to make time for them. She does things at a pace that is comfortable for you personally. So happy to be paired with her!
Michelle has been great. She constantly supports my needs and reaches out periodically to check in and see how I am doing. She is a great listener and provides excellent methods for helping me through my issues. 10/10!
Great therapist!
Michelle has been great to work with — she really listens to me and has helped me tackle issues I felt would never be resolved — I love that she offers advice in a non-judgmental manner and supports me during my ups and downs — she also communicates frequently with me which makes a huge difference in my progress — I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking help.
I would just like to send some kind words toward my counselor Michelle Walsh. I've been dealing with major anxiety/depression issues these past few weeks and i signed up to better help because of this. Michelle Walsh has given me the guidance to allow me to make great progress throughout all my troubles. I am so happy I was paired to her as I look forward to messaging her and getting responses all throughout the day. Her live sessions are extremely beneficial to the rest of my week and I look forward to continue my ongoing process with her. I know she will help me more and more as time progresses. Without her I don’t know how I would deal with my issues. She is the best!
