Michelle Singleton, LCSW, CSW - Therapist in New Jersey

About Michelle

Michelle Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey. She brings nine years of clinical experience working with adults and focuses on everyday concerns like anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting challenges. Michelle aims to make therapy practical and down to earth, using clear language and a supportive tone during sessions.

She meets people where they are and helps them sort through immediate problems. Sessions often include skills for coping with life changes, managing anger, and addressing relationship or career stress.

Background and approach

Michelle also offers help around ADHD, trauma and abuse, and issues affecting LGBT clients. Michelle uses several evidence-informed approaches in session. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and work toward change.

Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and values-based action. Her background includes work across the lifespan and additional focus areas such as aging and geriatric issues, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, postpartum concerns, and isolation.

Michelle blends practical tools with a hopeful, encouraging manner so clients can try changes between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the listed process.

Practical approaches for online parenting and life challenges

Michelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and low mood. This approach is direct and action-oriented and often works well for stress, depression, and parenting-related worries.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness and clarify personal values. These methods help people tolerate difficult feelings while taking steps that matter to them, which can be useful for life transitions, grief, and chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Michelle will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. Together they decide which techniques to try and when to review progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to allow flexible scheduling around family and work. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and use skills in day-to-day life without extra travel.

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.
