About Michelle
Michelle Flynn is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience supporting people through stressful and confusing moments. She meets people where they are and helps them sort through overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Her style is down-to-earth and often gently humorous, which aims to put people at ease quickly.
Sessions focus on building clarity, practical coping skills, and stronger self-awareness so daily life feels more manageable. She helps clients untangle anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and panic-related concerns.
Background and approach
Michelle also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, anger, eating issues, and challenges around relationships and intimacy. She pays attention to how medical or physical struggles affect daily functioning and emotional life. Her approach blends straightforward, evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy with trauma-focused work and motivational interviewing.
She uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals and to build momentum toward change. Treatment is collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space where practical strategies are emphasized.
Michelle listens for what matters most, then helps prioritize the next steps. She works from Florida and offers services with attention to each person’s whole life - mental, physical, and emotional. She provides services in English and accepts international clients.
Michelle holds the credential LCSW, Florida license FL LCSW SW14801, and brings two decades of clinical practice to each session.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Michelle uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, panic, and managing mood swings. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help clients clarify their goals and strengthen motivation for change in a gentle, nonjudgmental way.Finding the right approach is a joint effort. She will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made and priorities evolve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep continuity during busy weeks or when travel or mobility are concerns. The aim is to make therapy practical, consistent, and accessible while using proven approaches to move toward the goals you set together.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
