About Michelle
Michelle Louisville is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing addictions, depression and bipolar mood concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self esteem or intimacy-related issues.
She also helps with career stress, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and caregiver strain. Michelle addresses communication problems, codependency, family of origin issues, and problems with anger or sleeping. She supports people dealing with prejudice, multicultural concerns, and veteran-related issues.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and choose actions that match their values. Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation is low. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and sharpen focus.
Sessions focus on developing concrete coping skills and realistic steps for change. Michelle works with clients to identify patterns that lead to unhealthy choices and then practices new behaviors in session. She also offers coaching-style work for people clarifying life purpose or navigating a midlife transition.
Michelle emphasizes clear communication and problem-solving. She encourages clients to set small, manageable goals and tracks progress over time. People who want pragmatic tools for day-to-day life often find this approach useful.
BHow sessions work
How Michelle’s approaches translate to online work
Michelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which is useful for depression, anxiety, anger, and sleep problems. ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed actions that match those values, which can help with addiction, low motivation, and life transitions.Michelle treats the choice of approach as collaborative. She will talk with each person about what matters to them, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust tools based on what works. The aim is to find approaches that fit a person’s daily life and responsibilities, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so a check-in can happen between commitments. Because the specific session formats are not listed in the biography, please confirm current session options before booking. Michelle will help clients decide on pacing, homework between meetings, and how to practice skills so therapy can be integrated into everyday routines.
