About Michelle
Michelle Walsh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 11 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, and issues around relationships and intimacy.

BHow sessions work
How client-centered and mindfulness approaches translate online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful working relationship. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clarify goals so sessions feel practical. This approach helps with stress, relationship concerns, and mood problems because it keeps the work grounded in what matters to the person.Mindfulness Therapy uses simple practices to bring attention to the present moment. That can include breathing exercises, body awareness, and brief grounding techniques. These methods are useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, trauma-related distress, and sleep problems when used alongside talk therapy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on needs, priorities, and what feels doable in daily life. Plans can change as progress is reviewed together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into work and family schedules. Online visits can make it easier to keep regular appointments, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and let clients practice mindfulness tools between meetings without traveling.
