About Michelle

Michelle Walsh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings eleven years of practice to her work. She centers sessions on a respectful, person-focused approach that helps clients feel heard. Michelle emphasizes building a strong connection first so people can explore what matters most to them.

Her practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy, where the client’s perspective guides each session, and mindfulness techniques to help manage stress and anxiety. Michelle has worked in private practice, outpatient mental health clinics, and a homeless shelter. She has also provided services with veterans and their family members.

Clients come for help with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, panic, post-traumatic stress, and substance use concerns. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, chronic pain or illness, and career transitions. Additional focus areas include pregnancy and childbirth concerns, postpartum depression, sexual assault and domestic violence recovery, and compassion fatigue.

Michelle favors practical tools you can use between sessions. That includes mindfulness exercises and strategies to manage mood and cravings. She also offers group and individual formats based on need and past experience.

Michelle aims to listen first and then help identify small, workable steps forward. She helps clients build coping skills, strengthen self-care, and find resources outside sessions to support lasting change.

Client-centered and mindfulness work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers reflection, and helps people clarify goals. This approach can help with relationship worries, low self-esteem, and navigating life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These tools aim to reduce reactivity to stress and to improve sleep, anxiety, and mood regulation. Mindfulness can be practiced in short daily exercises between sessions to build steadier coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That may mean trying mindfulness exercises alongside client-centered conversations and adjusting based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can meet from wherever is most convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for remote meetings and suggest practices that fit daily life.
