About Michelle
Michelle Serda is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, depression, and life transitions. She works with individuals and couples on issues that range from grief and addiction to intimacy concerns and career stress.
Michelle draws on years spent in the VA medical system, community programs, and private practice. That variety informs a practical way of working. Sessions focus on concrete problems and everyday challenges rather than abstract theory.
She describes her approach as eclectic and client-centered. That means therapy adapts to the person in front of her, using techniques that fit the client’s history, values, and goals. Examples include problem-solving steps and thought-focused strategies to manage mood and anxiety.
Michelle has a particular interest in women’s perinatal and postpartum struggles and supports people through pregnancy and childbirth concerns. She also helps with blended family issues, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, and compassion fatigue related to caregiving roles.
Practical tasks are part of her work: identifying small changes to relieve overwhelm, sharpening communication skills, and building routines that support daily functioning. She invites clients to set clear goals and then track progress together. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches inform online work
Michelle uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral methods and solution-focused strategies. Cognitive-behavioral methods look at how thoughts influence mood and behavior and help build skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Solution-focused strategies concentrate on identifying small, practical steps clients can take now to change how they feel and function.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Michelle treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss options with each client, review what has worked before, and agree on goals and techniques together. That partnership guides how sessions proceed and which strategies are prioritized.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks at work. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or skip video when that suits them better. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your practical needs.
