About Michelle

Michelle Brown is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what feels hardest in day-to-day life. Her style is collaborative and steady, aimed at finding realistic steps clients can try between sessions.

She uses an attachment-based lens to look at how relationships shape emotional patterns. That perspective helps when someone feels stuck in loneliness, shame, or trouble trusting others.

Background and approach

Michelle combines that with practical methods that teach skills for managing panic, mood shifts, and overwhelming worry. Over 14 years she has worked with many people living with chronic pain, illness, or disability and those coping with ADHD. She also focuses on life purpose, sexuality, and recovery from trauma.

Sessions tend to center on small, doable changes rather than big, abstract ideas. Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build meaning, and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to regulate intense emotions. Motivational interviewing adds a gentle push when people feel stuck and unsure how to begin.

Michelle practices in Texas as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker. She offers sessions in English and provides several online therapy formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.

Online support

How attachment and skills work online

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect how people feel and connect. It helps when patterns of loneliness, trust issues, or repeated relationship pain show up in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters most, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce distress.

Michelle will work with clients to figure out which of these approaches fits best. She treats choosing a method as a team process, adjusting techniques to match a person’s goals, comfort level, and progress. Clients are invited to try strategies and give feedback so the plan evolves over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health needs while still accessing licensed professionals and consistent therapeutic support.
