About Michelle
Michelle Louisville is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing anger, addiction, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with career changes, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Michelle keeps sessions direct and practical. She uses everyday language and clear steps so clients can try tools between meetings. She focuses on building skills for handling strong feelings like anger and for reducing behaviors that cause harm.
Background and approach
Her work blends cognitive methods and mindfulness. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and then practice new responses. Motivational approaches are used when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.
In sessions she helps clients set small, achievable goals. Conversations include role practice, breathing and grounding skills, and planning for tricky situations. She encourages trying short experiments to see what works in daily life.
Michelle draws on two decades of practice in Florida. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where someone can talk through shame, guilt, or past hurts. The focus is on practical progress and clearer choices that fit each person's life.
People often come for help with trauma, substance use patterns, caregiver stress, or workplace burnout. She supports exploring values, improving communication, and developing new routines for better sleep and coping.

How Michelle Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Michelle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change thoughts that lead to unhelpful actions. CBT is useful for anger, depression, sleep issues, and patterns that keep coming back.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and practical steps toward a meaningful life. ACT helps when someone wants to act differently despite painful feelings or strong urges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then use CBT, ACT, or mindfulness techniques as a team decision. She checks in and adjusts methods based on what is helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues.
