About Michelle
Michelle Tiger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with four years in clinical practice as a therapist. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, depression, anxiety, stress, and related challenges. She also lists work on insomnia, grief, addictions, intimacy issues, and caregiving strain.
Before becoming a practicing therapist, she spent many years in roles serving older adults and people with health or functional needs. That background informs how she talks about chronic illness, aging, hospice, and caregiver stress. She also brings experience from community re-entry and correctional settings when relevant to a client's story.
In sessions she uses clear, practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness-based work, motivational interviewing, and client-centered approaches. She talks with clients about patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way. She supports gradual changes such as sleep habits, activity, and communication skills.
She offers coaching around job searching and employment challenges alongside clinical work for mood and stress. She identifies as an LGBTQ+ ally and includes that perspective when it is part of a client's concerns. Michelle emphasizes small, manageable steps rather than big, immediate fixes.
Clients can expect a straightforward, goal-focused way of working. Sessions examine thoughts, habits, and practical barriers. The aim is to reduce unhelpful patterns and build skills for everyday life challenges.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Michelle commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to build practical skills for mood, sleep, and stress. CBT helps with worry, low mood, insomnia, and problem-solving in work or family life.She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter to the client. ACT can be helpful when people are wrestling with painful feelings but want to move toward a more meaningful day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use together. That conversation may include short-term coaching around job search skills alongside therapy for mood or stress.
Because the original biography does not specify which online formats are used, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work, caregiving, or medical appointments into a week. They can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the format offered.
