About Michelle

Michelle Merindino is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with six years of clinical work. She meets people where they are and helps them handle life stress, mood shifts, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Her style feels warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on building trust and working through problems together.

Michelle favors a person-centered approach that centers the client's experience. Sessions focus on understanding emotions, increasing self-awareness, and making practical changes that help day-to-day functioning.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment issues and feelings of abandonment are areas she pays close attention to. Michelle supports people who struggle with self-esteem, social anxiety, loneliness, and communication problems, and she helps those navigating workplace stress, career transitions, or ongoing mood concerns.

Her work includes guiding people through trauma, substance-related concerns, anger, and coping with big life changes. She encourages learning new coping skills, practicing healthier boundaries, and exploring ways to build self-love and resilience. Michelle adapts her approach to each person rather than relying on a single method.

She works collaboratively on goals such as improving communication, breaking harmful cycles, and strengthening emotional regulation. The overall aim is clearer self-understanding and better functioning in everyday life.

Online support

Attachment-informed care online and practical tools

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they relate the way they do and supports healthier ways of connecting and handling emotional triggers. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's experience, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space so people can explore feelings and make their own changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, challenges, and preferences, then try methods that fit best. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is helpful and what feels right for the person.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when a quieter or simpler check-in is needed, or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, homework reminders, or support between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules, work breaks, or different daily routines.
