About Michele
Michele Ellis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. Michele helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or isolated to find clearer ways to cope and respond.
She approaches each person as more than a list of symptoms. Michele looks at background, values, and life circumstances to understand what keeps problems cycling. She talks through patterns that lead to outbursts, ongoing resentment, or low mood, and helps people notice small changes that reduce tension.
Therapy sessions mix practical skills and focused conversation. Michele helps clients develop strategies for managing stress and anger, improving self-esteem, and coping with traumatic memories. She also addresses related issues like attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and workplace problems.
Michele is familiar with experiences tied to military service and supporting those facing mood disorders or post-traumatic stress. She includes the role of life transitions, midlife shifts, and questions about purpose when those topics matter to a client. Sessions can include exploration of spiritual or secular perspectives depending on what feels relevant.
Her work is aimed at helping people build tools they can use between sessions. Michele asks practical questions, sets small goals, and tracks progress so clients can see what changes help. She conducts sessions in English and practices in Florida as an LCSW.
How Michele uses evidence-based techniques online
Michele works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine skills practice and focused talk. One common approach focuses on recognizing the patterns that trigger anger and building concrete coping skills to respond differently. This helps with workplace frustration, relationship tension, and day-to-day irritability. Another approach addresses traumatic memories and their lingering effects on mood and reactivity. It involves careful processing and grounding techniques to reduce overwhelming responses and improve day-to-day functioning. Finding the right method is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each client to try approaches that match their needs, goals, and pace. She reviews what is helping and adjusts plans as clients learn new ways to manage stress, shame, or low self-esteem. If you want sessions online, please confirm available formats before booking since the biography did not list specific session types. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy weeks, shorten travel time, and allow for quick check-ins between in-person visits. Some formats use a camera and lend themselves to role-play or teaching new skills, while phone-only visits can be useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can help clients choose what suits their schedule and daily life.Areas of expertise
