About Nendler
Nendler "Dee" Michel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 24 years in the human services field. He helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, addiction concerns, parenting struggles, and life transitions. He speaks English and practices from a practical, conversational stance.
Dee uses a person-centered approach that starts by listening and getting to know each person's situation before offering ideas. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help reframe thought patterns with Motivational Interviewing to support change. Mindfulness techniques such as breathing and basic meditation are included to help manage stress and emotional reactivity.
He often brings coaching-style strategies into sessions, including concrete guidance on fitness, nutrition, and wellness when relevant to a client's goals. Dee has years of work in child welfare and with people involved in the justice system, and he draws on that experience when addressing trauma, neglect, and recovery from past mistakes.
Sessions typically focus on practical steps: clearer communication in relationships, coping techniques for anxiety or anger, relapse prevention for substance concerns, and planning for career or parenting challenges. He aims to increase a client's understanding of themselves and produce actionable next steps between sessions.
People looking for somebody straightforward and results-oriented will find his style direct and conversational. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details so they fit your life.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. In online sessions this means the conversation guides the work and the therapist offers feedback and practical suggestions based on what matters to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Online CBT sessions use short exercises, thought records, and goal setting to address anxiety, depression, and relationship tensions.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple breathing and grounding practices to reduce stress and emotional reactivity. These skills can be practiced during a session and repeated between meetings to help with coping and focus.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, how you respond to different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps you most. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize CBT skills, motivational conversations, or mindfulness practice.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss format preferences at first contact so sessions can be arranged to match your schedule and practical needs.
