Michell’s style is warm and interactive. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping clients name what matters and set small, doable goals. She avoids labels that demean and focuses on practical steps that fit each person’s life.
Her approach blends several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Michell brings 13 years of experience as an LCSW to her work. She has helped people who experienced trauma and emotional abuse, those navigating autism or ADHD, and people coping with parenting and behavior concerns. She draws on that background to tailor plans that match what each client needs.
Starting therapy with Michell means practical steps and steady support. She helps people break big problems into manageable pieces and builds skills for everyday life. Her goal is to help clients move toward more satisfying relationships and more reliable emotional balance.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people who notice repeated hurtful or confusing relationship cycles and want to respond differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for worry, low mood, and changing habits that get in the way of daily life. Client-Centered Therapy places the client's priorities at the center and uses supportive conversation to help people find their own solutions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their goals and preferences. Together they try approaches, see what fits, and adjust the plan as needed. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep therapy consistent while managing work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.Areas of expertise
