Michele Ellis

Michele Ellis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She focuses on practical support for anger, self-esteem, and body image concerns. Michele aims to make the first steps toward help easier and less overwhelming.

Her style centers on getting to know a person's life story, values, and current struggles. She listens for patterns that cause pain and works with clients to try different ways of responding. Michele supports people dealing with isolation, social anxiety, and grief, and she helps those coping with chronic pain, caregiver strain, and workplace stress.

She has also worked with people processing attachment and abandonment wounds, navigating midlife changes, and addressing military-related issues. Michele pays attention to guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose that often come up alongside mood difficulties.

Michele respects spiritual or secular perspectives and makes space for what matters most to each person. Her sessions involve honest conversation, collaborative goal-setting, and practical strategies to try between meetings. She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes.

With five years of practice as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - she brings a calm, straightforward approach. Michele is based in Florida and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to Michele's work. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress. Another approach emphasizes understanding and repairing attachment patterns by looking at relationship histories and current reactions; this can help with abandonment concerns, trust issues, and patterns in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michele works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts strategies when something is not working well for the client.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It also lets people connect with a licensed professional while keeping appointments on a schedule that fits daily routines. Michele can help you decide what will work best given your situation and goals.
