About Michelle

Michelle Edmond is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, depression, and transitions in life.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical practice, she centers care on building a collaborative space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and work toward practical change. Her background includes training in several evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which she integrates when helpful to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

Michelle emphasizes a warm, client-centered stance that invites honest conversation without judgment. She combines client-centered listening with solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to support goal setting, strengthen motivation, and identify small steps that lead to meaningful progress.

She also draws on narrative therapy to help clients reframe personal stories and consider new perspectives when coping with complex stressors such as caregiving strains, family-of-origin concerns, grief, and substance-related issues. Based in Florida and practicing in English, Michelle offers flexible online session formats including video, phone, chat, and messaging.

Prospective clients are encouraged to take the first step by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

How Michelle’s Methods Translate to Online Care



Michelle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and unconditional regard that helps clients explore feelings and build insight at their own pace. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she employs to bolster readiness for change and clarify personal goals when clients face ambivalence about steps like recovery or behavior shifts.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify goals, trial strategies, and adapt techniques based on what is most useful and comfortable for each person. This partnership helps tailor sessions to shifting needs and preferences over time.

Online therapy with Michelle is offered through a variety of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to access care with greater scheduling flexibility, reduce travel time, and continue work between sessions through messaging when needed. The variety of formats supports different styles of communication and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
