    About Michelle

    Michelle Brown is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and big life changes. She has 14 years of experience supporting people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.

    She focuses on practical, step-by-step work in sessions. Michelle talks through goals and helps people notice what gets in the way of change. She uses clear tools to manage panic, low mood, and symptoms of ADHD so daily life feels more manageable.

    Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Michelle draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing to help people explore values, set realistic goals, and take workable steps toward them. She also uses attachment-based and dialectical behavior strategies when helpful.

    Michelle has experience helping people cope with chronic pain, long-term illness, and disability. She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and sexuality. Sessions aim to build skills for emotion regulation and to reduce patterns that keep people stuck.

    Michelle works from Texas and conducts therapy in English. She asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability so they and she can find a good fit.

  2. How Michelle adapts evidence-based approaches for online work

    Michelle often draws on motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Motivational interviewing focuses on exploring what matters to someone and strengthening their own reasons for change, which can help with goals like reducing avoidance or improving daily routines. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then choose methods that fit those aims. She adapts tools to the online setting so people can practice skills between sessions and track small wins over time.

    Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people learn skills, try behavior changes at home, and stay engaged through regular appointments.
