About Michelle
Michelle Serda is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Michelle speaks plainly and aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming.
She connects practical steps to everyday life so parents and family members can try new ways of coping between sessions. Her background includes work across community settings and independent practice in Florida.
Background and approach
Over her career she has supported people facing grief, major life changes, career stress, and mood concerns. She has particular experience with postpartum and perinatal challenges, blended family issues, and the practical pressures parents often face. In sessions Michelle uses a client-centered, flexible approach.
She tailors methods to each person’s history, goals, and strengths. That might include brief solution-focused work or cognitive-behavioral techniques aimed at changing unhelpful patterns and building daily routines that reduce stress. Michelle emphasizes clear communication and problem-solving for everyday family life.
She helps people set concrete goals, practice new skills, and evaluate progress in simple steps. Her style is direct but warm, and she encourages collaboration on what will work for each household. People who want hands-on, practical help with parenting, relationship dynamics, or managing anxiety may find her approach useful.
She offers sessions in English and provides therapy through multiple online formats to fit busy family schedules.
Evidence-informed approaches and online support
Michelle often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. These methods teach practical skills for managing stress and improving day-to-day functioning.She also employs solution-focused strategies that concentrate on small, achievable changes. This approach is useful when clients want quick, concrete steps to ease parenting struggles, communication problems, or transition periods.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, history, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone conversations, and short check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to keep continuity between meetings and to practice new skills when life gets hectic.
