Michelle Coffey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people navigate major life changes and everyday stress. She brings seven years of clinical experience and a person-centered outlook to each appointment. Michelle aims to understand where a person is starting from and to walk alongside them toward practical steps they can actually use.

Her style is warm and direct. She listens first, then helps people set realistic goals and try out small changes. Sessions often include talking through coping skills, adjusting unhelpful thinking, and practicing new ways of handling strong emotions.

Michelle has supported people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns. She also helps with relationship strain, grief, career transitions, and challenges tied to chronic illness or caregiving. Many clients bring worries about self-esteem, sleep, or attention and focus; she addresses those concerns in straightforward ways.

Her work draws on client-centered principles and combines practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills-based strategies. She uses mindfulness and motivational techniques when they fit a person’s goals. Treatment plans are shaped by what each person wants to change and what feels doable in daily life.

Michelle works from Florida and provides therapy in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How talking therapies and online work come together

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, understanding a person’s goals, and shaping sessions around what matters to them. This approach is useful for people who need a calm space to sort out big life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical exercises to change reactions and routines. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit day-to-day life. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made so the work feels relevant and doable.

The biography does not name specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it helps them stay consistent with care while working on coping skills, mood, and relationship concerns.
