Hello :)
My name is Michelle and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have achieved a Masters Degree in Social Work from University at Albany, Albany NY, and a Bachelors Degree in Sociology and Criminal Justice from SUNY Potsdam, Potsdam NY. I have 15 years working in the mental health field. As a therapist in an outpatient clinic, I have worked with diverse individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and challenges. I treat every client equally as a human no matter what your challenges are. My expertise is providing person centered treatment with an emphasis on strengthening your ability to cope with life difficulties and symptoms that are interfering with your ability to full fill life roles. I believe everyone has the ability to find their inner strength and live the life that they want to live. I use methods of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness). I use a strong emphasis on self-care! I will help you find self care practices that work for you to feel more motivated and to feel your best! Whether your looking for some fine tuning or need long term support, I would appreciate the opportunity to support you and help you work through your challenges.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Awesome advice, really is into what issues you're dealing with. Friendly and overall just a great person to work with!
Awesome therapist. Listens and asks you questions.
What I appreciate the most from Michelle is that she is a great listener, validates how I feel and she gives great practical suggestions. It helps me feel empowered and that I can be successful.
I have been in therapy for a long time with a number of different therapists. In the time I've had with her, she has been the most helpful. So thank you Michelle!
Michelle is a good listener who provides tangible solutions to things I struggle with. Using science to back up strategies/practices has helped me improve in the areas I’ve come to therapy for.
Great person. Great listener
I’ve had experience with a couple therapists in the past and was left feeling like I was the only ever talking. Michelle knows when to let me talk and when to step in and provide advice or ask questions. I’ve made more progress in a couple weeks with Michelle then I have with other therapists in months.
Understands what you’re saying when you can’t say it yourself. Active listener who is friendly and comforting to talk to.
Caring, insighful, and professional. I was on the fence about using this, but not now.
she is able to understand my situation and guide me through my issues.
Shes respectable, kind and listens to your concerns and how to improve upon your obstacles.
I feel very comfortable with Michelle. She not only listens but has her input and suggestions on how to help.
