About Michele
Michele Ellis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people through difficult times. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and anger. Michele aims to make conversations clear and practical so people can take small steps forward.
She centers sessions on the whole person - background, values, and daily life matter. Michele listens for what’s most urgent, then offers straightforward tools and strategies to manage intense feelings.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how relationships, work, health, and past hurts affect current mood and behavior. Michele has five years of experience as an LCSW and works with people facing social anxiety, isolation, and shame. She also supports those coping with body image distress, attachment wounds, and abandonment issues.
Practical concerns like workplace stress, caregiver burnout, chronic pain, and mood disorders are part of her caseload. People often come to her for help with life transitions and identity questions, such as midlife change or questions about life purpose. She is familiar with military-related experiences and veteran issues and is comfortable addressing those topics when they arise.
Michele respects each person’s spiritual or secular perspective and includes that in care when relevant. Starting therapy is described as a step-by-step process. Michele aims to create a steady, respectful space to talk through problems and build clearer habits for coping and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Michele uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One commonly used approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. Another approach emphasizes understanding past relationships and attachment patterns to reduce shame, improve self-esteem, and address anger and interpersonal difficulties. Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Michele will talk with each person about goals, needs, and what feels helpful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan over time so the work matches what’s actually changing in daily life. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also make regular work on coping skills more consistent, since sessions can be arranged around work or caregiving responsibilities rather than travel.Questions people ask about Michele
