Michelle is at once thoughtful, intuitive, strategic, and practical. I always feel heard, seen, and understood. She has a wonderful technique that seamlessly combines different therapeutic approaches that still feels like a natural organic progression of healing and awareness. She is a lot of fun and has a great sense of humor. She is also very honest and straightforward and never relying on me to answer my own questions when I am seeking input from her. All in all I am extremely satisfied. I think she is fantastic! I’m so glad that better help identified her as a match with my needs. Thanks so much!
More about Michelle
- 25 years' experience

- LCSW
I have worked as a mental health and substance abuse counselor for over 25 years. I've been a master's level licensed therapist since 2001 and have held my LCSW in Florida since 2012. I graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelors degree in psychology and from Georgia State University with a Master of Social Work degree. I've worked with a wide range of diverse populations including children, teens, adults, and geriatrics in inpatient crisis stabilization, residential, and outpatient therapy settings. I've worked with individuals, couples and families. My core experience is in treating abuse/ trauma issues, mood disorders, personality disorders, substance abuse, family conflict, and life transitions. My primary focus is on helping my clients gain insight, education, and coping strategies to overcome the challenges they are facing in their lives.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

First time I've ever felt like I'm being heard while seeing a counselor. She knows what she's doing and is comfortable to talk to and she listens. Positive attitude and she takes the time to break things down with me so i can better understand the issues I'm dealing with. Provides excercises ect.. to better help me apply all those resolutions to my daily life for better recovery/results.
I love her vibe. She gives off genuine interest. She's got this sweet, soothing southern voice that just puts me at ease. I'm still new with her, but first impression is TOP NOTCH!
