About Michelle

Michelle Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults aged 18 and over. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a warm, encouraging manner to sessions. Michelle aims to help people manage anxiety, depression, and stress with practical support and a bit of good humor.

She frames therapy around everyday life changes and common struggles. Michelle uses methods from mindfulness therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice thoughts, act on values, and build coping skills. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with room for reflection and real-world practice.

Michelle’s background includes long-term work with adults across the life span and a sustained interest in community-based resources. She values ongoing learning and brings that curiosity into sessions. Outside work she enjoys beach and camping trips, time with pets, and family gatherings.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. Michelle helps people sort priorities, try small experiments, and build routines that fit daily life. She supports work on relationships, parenting stresses, career concerns, and challenges like trauma, ADHD, or chronic illness.

People can expect a steady, collaborative therapist who encourages strengths while teaching skills. Michelle aims to help clients gain tools that make coping easier and daily life more manageable.

How Michelle Uses Mindfulness and ACT in Online Care

Michelle often draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment; this simple awareness practice can reduce reactivity to stress and make daily routines easier to manage. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and encourage small committed actions that align with what matters most, which can be helpful for motivation and life transitions.

Client-centered work is a steady presence in her approach, offering a respectful listening space where the person's own goals lead the work. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about what helps, adjust techniques, and invite feedback so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or use a quieter room without needing to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, behavior experiments, and ACT practices to work well in remote sessions, and Michelle tailors those tools to what the client can actually try between appointments.
