Michelle Edmond , LCSW

Michelle Edmond is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, anger, and depression. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical next steps. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping someone feel heard and steady again.

Michelle creates a calm space where people can talk about what feels hard without feeling judged. She listens for what matters most and works with each person to set small, doable goals. That can mean practicing ways to manage strong feelings, trying a new routine, or shifting unhelpful thoughts.

Her background includes five years working primarily in therapy as an LCSW in Florida. She draws on approaches that are easy to explain and apply. Sessions mix open conversation with tools people can use between appointments.

Michelle often helps people dealing with life transitions, caregiver stress, relationship patterns that cause pain, and questions about purpose and meaning. She also supports those facing addiction challenges, isolation, or problems that began in their family of origin.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. That means she listens first, then offers practical strategies tailored to the person’s goals. The focus is on steady progress and clearer day-to-day coping.

How Michelle’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Michelle uses client-centered therapy to create a listening space where the person’s priorities guide the work. That approach emphasizes empathy, reflecting what someone says, and shaping goals together to make therapy useful for daily life.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice patterns of thinking and try different responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it pairs understanding with practical exercises to change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. She reviews progress regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions stay aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online formats let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and text messaging supports short updates or reminders. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use strategies between sessions.
