About Michele
Michele Ellis is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in California with five years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She works with individuals who are dealing with isolation, workplace strain, grief, body image worries, and relationship attachment questions.
Her practice focuses on straightforward, practical conversation. Sessions look at daily routines, coping strategies, and patterns that keep problems stuck. Michele helps people identify small changes that can reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
She also works with people facing chronic pain, caregiver stress, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress related to military service. Michele addresses issues of guilt, shame, and life-purpose questioning so clients can clarify what matters and take manageable steps forward.
Michele pays attention to background and values, including spiritual or faith-based perspectives when relevant. She listens for how past relationships affect current patterns and brings that into the work. Treatment moves at a pace set by the person seeking help.
Practical problem solving and talk-based interventions form the core of her work. Michele helps people practice new ways of coping and offers concrete tools to use between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online work can fit
Mentioned approaches are evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common technique focuses on changing daily routines and coping skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression; this involves tracking patterns and practicing specific skills between sessions. Another approach addresses the effects of past relationships and attachment patterns by talking through relational history and noticing how those patterns show up now; this can help with attachment issues and shame.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which techniques to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that work around work or caregiving responsibilities. They can also allow a phone-only check-in if someone prefers less bandwidth or a shorter contact. Ask about current session formats when you schedule your first appointment.
