Michelle Edmond, LCSW

Michelle Edmond is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and depression. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Michelle aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and worth the effort.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room to talk through what matters most right now. Clients can expect clear suggestions and simple exercises to practice on their own.

Michelle draws on five years of focused therapy experience and a broader background in social work as an LCSW. That experience informs how she supports people facing life changes, caregiver stress, or issues tied to family of origin. She can also help with problems connected to alcohol or drug use and feelings of isolation.

Her work often addresses communication problems, attachment concerns, control struggles, and questions about life purpose. She helps people work through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and practical tasks like managing hoarding behaviors. Sessions aim to balance problem-solving with space to process emotions.

Therapy is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Michelle uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and helps clients schedule sessions that fit their routines.

How Michelle Uses Structured Approaches Online

Michelle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong reactions like anger. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her approach, which means sessions focus on the person's priorities and aim to create an open space for honest conversation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques as needed. Together they choose whether to focus on thought tools, motivational work, or narrative exercises that reframe life stories.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone calls can be good for lower bandwidth or during short breaks, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options give people flexibility while working toward clear, achievable goals.
