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.

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, 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.

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.
