About Michelle

Michelle Brown is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical strategies that reduce overwhelm and support day-to-day functioning, including work relevant to ADHD and challenges such as social anxiety, isolation, and persistent feelings of guilt or shame. Her practice emphasizes understanding each person’s unique circumstances and priorities while collaboratively building tools that fit individual needs.

Her therapeutic style blends evidence-based methods to increase emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and clarify values. Michelle uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-oriented practices to help clients reframe unhelpful patterns and take meaningful actions.

She also draws on attachment-informed perspectives and skills-based therapies to address relational patterns and intense emotions. Based in Texas, she offers services in English and aims to create a respectful, approachable environment for clients seeking steady progress and practical relief.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Michelle often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients address distressing thoughts and build values-driven action. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, encouraging committed steps toward what matters most, which can be useful for life transitions, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges. CBT works to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, providing concrete skills for mood, panic, and social anxiety symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor techniques or blend methods so the plan fits the client’s life and challenges. That collaboration helps adjust strategies as progress unfolds and priorities shift.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access care from home, during work breaks, or while managing chronic health concerns. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to use practical therapeutic tools between sessions, supporting continuity and convenience for people with busy or complex lives.
