About Michelle

Michelle Hill is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of clinical experience who blends practical strategies and empathetic listening to help clients move forward.

Background and approach

She completed her master's degree in social work at the University of Texas at San Antonio after beginning her education in Flint, Michigan, and now practices in Texas as an LCSW (TX LCSW 62392). Michelle emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and clear steps so clients can measure progress toward the changes they want to see.

Her approach focuses on identifying what clients want to be different, exploring the factors that contribute to stress or emotional pain, and developing a plan to build skills and resilience. She uses evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and mindfulness-based practices to address anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, caregiver stress, and other life transitions.

Michelle aims to help people understand patterns they may not notice on their own and to create workable strategies for day-to-day life. Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to accommodate varied schedules and preferences, and she works with each person to find an approach that fits their goals and circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it often uses specific exercises and homework to reinforce new skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own problem-solving and self-discovery.

Michelle treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. She will work with each client to explore which methods match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting strategies over time to find the best fit for progress and comfort.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage access from different locations within Texas. These options support ongoing work between sessions and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while pursuing the therapeutic skills and goals developed together.
