About Michelle
Michelle Gallo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona and New Jersey with 10 years of experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, caregiver burnout, and questions about motivation and self-esteem.
Michelle listens to each person's story and helps them sort through practical problems. She uses clear, direct conversation rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, doable steps toward feeling better.
Her approach draws on client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. That means she pays attention to what matters to the client, looks at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, teaches simple mindfulness practices, and builds short-term plans to manage immediate concerns.
People come to her for a range of concerns including depression, parenting strain, career stress, body image, fertility and pregnancy-related issues, and midlife transitions. She also works with grief, hospice and end-of-life matters, and compassion fatigue for caregivers.
Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. Michelle helps people identify small changes that fit into busy lives. She encourages honest talk about everyday stresses and makes space for problem-solving and skill building.
BHow sessions work
How Michelle’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. In online sessions this means time is given to hear what matters most and set the agenda together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills. Online CBT sessions can include working on thought records, behavior experiments, and concrete homework between meetings.The right approach is chosen together. Michelle will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels workable. That collaborative step helps shape whether sessions use more mindfulness practice, skill-based CBT, or focused solution work depending on needs.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make practicing skills between sessions more straightforward, since worksheets and exercises can be shared and reviewed during meetings.
