About Michelle
Michelle Edmond is a Florida LCSW with five years focused on providing therapy. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Her practice centers on practical conversation and steady, straightforward support.
She frames sessions around what matters most to each person. Michelle uses conversation to name patterns that cause tension and then tries small, manageable steps to change them. That can mean looking at unhelpful thoughts, trying a different way to respond in a heated moment, or building brief routines that reduce daily stress.
Her background includes broader work related to aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and family of origin problems. She also brings experience with addiction-related difficulties, hoarding, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Those topics often come up alongside anger and parenting struggles.
In session she draws on several approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods give concrete tools such as thought-challenging, goal-focused steps, and conversational techniques to explore personal stories.
People who start therapy with Michelle typically set short-term goals and try practical changes between sessions. She encourages straightforward feedback about what helps and what does not. The work is about learning what shifts reduce reactivity and improve daily routines.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and following the person's concerns. In practice this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for worry, anger that grows from thinking traps, and depressive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT exercises for a few sessions, then shifting to solution-focused steps if those feel more useful. The plan is adjusted based on what the client reports about progress and practicality.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for quicker check-ins, or avoid travel time. It also supports using written exercises and screen-shared worksheets during the session to practice thought-challenging and plan small behavioral experiments.
