About Michelle
Michelle Brown is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or big life changes. She also supports those navigating ADHD-related challenges and persistent feelings like guilt, shame, or loneliness.
Her work is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps identify small, manageable steps to reduce distress. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings, such as coping techniques, routines, and ways to manage mood and worry.
Background and approach
Michelle uses several evidence-informed approaches to match what each person needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action, and dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation skills. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
People who contact her can expect a calm, nonjudgmental tone and an emphasis on real-life tools. She often works with concerns tied to chronic pain or illness, panic, PTSD symptoms, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose and sexuality. Her goal is to help people build routines and strategies that reduce daily strain.
Based in Texas, Michelle practices as an LCSW and offers sessions in English. She focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes, helping people create sustainable habits that fit their lives.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense feelings and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, and she adjusts those choices as goals and needs change. The process is guided by what the person wants to accomplish and what feels manageable in day-to-day life.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and teaching new skills, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for shorter check-ins, and text messaging suits people who want ongoing brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
