About Michelle
Michelle Robbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses a range of life challenges like grief, relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, and career stress.
Clients meet someone who uses clear, practical methods. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and building skills that reduce overwhelming feelings. Conversations are direct and down-to-earth, with attention to everyday routines, work demands, and family pressures.
Michelle draws from client-centered work to make space for the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going, and dialectical behavior tools to manage strong emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set achievable goals and keep progress moving.
Her background includes nearly a decade of hands-on clinical time in New Jersey. That experience informs problem-solving around mood disorders, addiction concerns, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress. She also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, gender dysphoria, and sexuality.
Sessions aim to be practical and change-focused. Michelle helps people name what matters, try manageable steps, and adjust plans based on what works. To begin, people are invited to use the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches work for online therapy
Michelle uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person’s perspective and priorities. That means conversations begin with what matters most to the client, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to set goals and steps forward.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify thoughts and behavior patterns that keep problems going and replaces them with more helpful strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. Dialectical behavior therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with impulsivity and relationship problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan over time. The process is collaborative and focused on measurable steps.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and other obligations, and can reduce travel time. Some formats are also useful when a shorter check-in is needed or when video is not practical. Ask about current session options when you schedule.
