About Michelle

Michelle Edmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with five years focused on therapy work. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, depression, and the strain of life changes.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and understanding. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking that feed frustration and tension.

In sessions she aims to make it possible to talk through difficult feelings without judgment. She works with clients to name triggers, try different responses, and practice clearer communication. Practical steps and short-term goals are common in her work.

Michelle also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Narrative therapy helps some clients reframe personal stories that keep anger and resentment alive. Solution-focused work can help set concrete small goals for everyday change.

Her background includes experience across community and clinical settings before concentrating on therapy. She practices in Florida as an LCSW and conducts work in English. People interested in beginning work are encouraged to take the initial online intake step to match with her and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Michelle uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy as core tools. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps when sorting emotions like anger and resentment. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, actions, and feelings connect and offers practical exercises to change reactions and reduce snapping or avoidance.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to change but feel resistant. That approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, helping someone find their own reasons to try different behaviors. Together the therapist and client decide which approach fits best based on needs and goals rather than assuming one method up front.

Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding travel time on a tight schedule. It can also allow sessions without being on camera if that helps a person remain focused. The therapist will discuss which practical setup suits each client's routines and preferences.
