About Michelle
Michelle Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 13 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and major life changes. She also addresses compassion fatigue and related concerns such as communication problems and social anxiety.
Michelle keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She focuses on talking through what causes anger and stress in daily life, and on developing better ways to respond when feelings run high. Conversations look at specific situations at home or work and identify small, usable changes to try between sessions.
Her style centers on building a respectful space where people can name what they are feeling and test new approaches. She encourages clear communication skills and problem-solving steps that reduce repeated clashes and simmering resentment. Practical strategies may include pacing emotional reactions, adjusting expectations, and improving conversations with others.
Michelle also supports people coping with burnout and compassion fatigue. She helps clients recognize patterns that lead to exhaustion and maps out routines and boundaries that conserve emotional energy. Work often includes short-term goals and check-ins to track what changes are helping.
To begin, she asks people to share recent situations that felt out of control or unfair. From there she and the client shape a plan that fits the client’s daily routine and goals. Sessions aim to be manageable and focused on skills that can be used right away.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Michelle describes her work as practical and evidence focused. One common technique helps people identify triggers and break down the chain of thoughts and actions that lead to angry responses. This method clarifies what happens just before anger rises and gives step-by-step tools to slow the reaction and choose a different response.Another approach focuses on communication skills. It teaches simple phrases and timing strategies to reduce escalation in conversations. Practicing these skills in session helps people try them in real interactions and review what worked or didn’t work afterward.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She and the client review goals, test methods, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s life and what produces small improvements. The therapist helps weigh options and tailor the pace of change to the client’s needs and daily routine.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into workdays, take a short check-in during breaks, or focus on skills practice without needing travel time. Ask about session length and any other practical arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire.
