About Michelle
Michelle Homa is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, LGBT issues, family-related problems, and anger.
She keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Conversations focus on understanding what triggers strong feelings, learning ways to respond differently, and building day-to-day skills to manage upset and frustration. Communication patterns and past relationship experiences are often part of the discussion when they relate to current problems.
Michelle emphasizes clear strategies people can use between sessions. That may include simple behavior changes, communication practice, and techniques to reduce emotional escalation. She also helps people work through grief, separation, and family of origin issues that keep them stuck or reactive.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment choices. Michelle helps clients weigh options and apply approaches that fit their situation and preferences rather than following a single formula. This often means combining practical skill-building with time spent understanding recurring patterns.
Over two decades of practice has given her experience with long-term mood concerns and complex life transitions. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking so they understand how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online sessions. One common approach focuses on practical skill building - teaching concrete ways to notice triggers, slow down reactions, and practice new responses. This helps with anger, anxiety, and stress by giving specific behaviors to try between sessions.Another approach she uses emphasizes understanding patterns from past relationships and family of origin issues. This looks at how old attachment and communication habits show up now, and helps people choose different responses in stressful moments. That approach is useful for recurring resentment, grief, and problems that repeat across relationships.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Michelle works with each client to match techniques to their goals and preferences. She reviews progress regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm available options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
