More about Michelle

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

For the past 11 years I have had the honor in being able to do what I love and that is helping others. Having a nonjudgmental third party to talk to when having a difficulty time coping with life is helpful. Depression and Anxiety have become common in our world due to the stress we experience on a regular basis. There are many coping skills to help people work through stress. Taking the time to learn and practice them while talking to a therapist can make you mentally stronger. BECAUSE I WORK ON VIDEO I AM AVAILABLE ANYWHERE IN NEW JERSEY.

I work with clients who present with a variety of life’s issues. I have worked with people who identify with Depression, Anxiety, Traumatic Crises, Anger Management, PTSD, and other diagnoses. I was a Police Officer and first responder. I understand the difficulties in coping with what is seen on a daily basis and the importance in talking about them.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey, I am a Professional Trauma Specialist. Services are provided via HIPPA-compliant secure video sessions. This allows for New Jersey clients easy access to services at their own convenience and in their own home. It is important to take care of our physical health and our mental health as well

I have had my Doctorate in counseling since 2014.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
