About Michelle
Michelle King-Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. Michelle also helps with related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and communication problems.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on understanding patterns like control issues, impulsivity, or financial stress and finding manageable steps to change them. Michelle helps people process difficult emotions such as guilt, shame, and grief in ways that fit day-to-day life.
Her background includes long-term work with individuals going through separation and divorce and those coping with mood challenges and panic attacks. She also supports people dealing with relationship dynamics that involve narcissistic behavior and helps them set clearer personal boundaries. The goal is to make progress that shows up in work, family, and everyday routines.
Michelle pays attention to practical obstacles clients face, such as caregiving responsibilities or chronic health conditions, and adapts strategies accordingly. Conversations often include problem-solving around communication, money, and life purpose. She encourages small, sustainable changes rather than sweeping promises.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her social work perspective. People who want a pragmatic, process-focused approach to handling stress, loss, or relationship strain may find her style direct and task-oriented.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety and panic, such as breathing strategies, grounding, and brief behavior experiments that can be practiced between sessions. This helps with day-to-day symptom management and reducing distress responses.Another frequent focus is processing trauma and loss through paced conversations that help make sense of painful events and the feelings that follow. That work often includes identifying how past experiences affect current relationships and daily routines, and then testing small changes to lessen their impact.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making guides which methods are prioritized and how quickly work shifts from crisis management to longer-term change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and homework to match a client's schedule and daily responsibilities.
