About Michelle
Michelle Hill is a licensed clinical social worker who aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful. She talks plainly about change and peace, and helps people figure out what they want to be different. Michelle draws on eight years of practice to guide clients through obstacles both large and small.
She begins by helping clients name the goals that matter to them. Then she looks at the factors that contribute to stress and life challenges.
Background and approach
Together they create a practical plan to move toward those goals. Michelle offers an outside perspective to help people see patterns they might miss on their own. Her work covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, career strain, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, communication and family problems, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and loneliness. Michelle uses a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are.
She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and client-centered methods. Her approach is practical, collaborative, and tailored to the goals the client brings into the room. Based in Texas, Michelle holds an LCSW and works with adults in English.
She supports people looking for clear steps, steady feedback, and a therapist who will help shape realistic plans for change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to shift them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and builds skills for handling stress and strong emotions more calmly.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts methods to match what helps in real life rather than sticking rigidly to a single method.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions can be used when video is not practical. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, flexible check-ins between sessions. These options provide more ways to stay consistent with therapy and to access support when it works best for the client.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
