About Michelle
Michelle Louisville is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with anger, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes.
She offers straightforward, skills-based help. She uses approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on recognizing unhelpful thoughts, building coping skills, and setting small practical goals that fit everyday life.
Michelle has worked with people facing post-traumatic stress, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, and veterans and armed forces concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, sleep problems, eating and food-related issues, and control or codependency struggles. Her work includes addressing prejudice and multicultural concerns when they affect someone’s wellbeing.
Her style is direct and practical. She helps clients notice patterns that lead to unhealthy choices and then practices alternatives together. That might mean short experiments between sessions, new routines for managing strong feelings, or focused conversations about difficult relationships.
Clients begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. Michelle uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location. Sessions are offered in English in Florida.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It helps when anger gets in the way of relationships or long-term goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that fuel anger. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention so strong feelings are noticed earlier and managed with less reactivity.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will listen to current struggles, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That means you and the therapist test techniques together and shift course when needed rather than committing to one method up front.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into their day because it reduces travel and lets them schedule brief check-ins around work or caregiving. Online sessions also make it possible to practice skills in real-life settings and review short between-session exercises without leaving home.
