Michelle Cohen Negri, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Michelle

Michelle Cohen Negri is a licensed clinical social worker who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or parenting challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely so parents can speak about real worries and find clear next steps. Michelle offers a steady, practical presence when life feels chaotic or painful.

She draws on her experience as a former professional athlete to emphasize resilience and steady habits. That background informs a focus on strengths, discipline, and realistic goals rather than only looking at problems.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented so progress feels tangible. Michelle uses evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help manage distress and improve day-to-day functioning. She also brings elements of solution-focused work to set doable short-term goals.

These methods support work on trauma, mood struggles, and self-esteem in concrete ways. Parents and caregivers often find her practical style helpful for addressing caregiver stress, communication problems, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with grief, body image concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Her work centers on building skills, increasing self-compassion, and creating steps that fit each person’s life. Sessions are offered in English from Florida and use formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Michelle holds a Florida licensed clinical social worker credential, FL LCSW SW24222, and brings three years of clinical experience to her practice.

Practical therapeutic approaches delivered online

Michelle often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on small, doable experiments and skills that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and make daily life feel more manageable.

She also incorporates mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness can help with stress, emotional regulation, and coping after difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you choose methods that match your needs, goals, and preferences. Together you set practical goals and adjust methods as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend from home, handle sudden caregiving demands, or follow up between sessions. The variety of options supports continuity of care and flexibility while working toward clearer routines and skills.
