About Michelle

Michelle Carr is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps adults navigate stress, mood concerns, trauma, and ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience in Florida, she focuses on practical strategies that help people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship and family tensions, addiction, grief, and other life transitions. Michelle emphasizes meeting clients where they are and supporting them as they rediscover a more balanced, meaningful daily life.

Her style is warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental, creating space for clients to bring candid concerns and difficult material. She blends client-centered principles with evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT skills, EMDR, and motivational interviewing, tailoring interventions to each person’s situation.

She often suggests coping skills and between-session practice to reinforce progress, and aims to build trust so clients feel supported working through stressors, communication breakdowns, domestic violence impacts, immigration-related issues, and other complex concerns.

Michelle conducts therapy in English, accepts international clients, and maintains a practical focus on helping people identify self-care routines and communication strategies that fit their lives.

Approach and Access: Evidence-Based Care Online



Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens actively and supports clients in exploring their values and goals. This approach helps people develop self-understanding and find personal solutions to stress, relationship tensions, and challenges with self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories by processing them with guided techniques, often useful for clients coping with abuse or traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, and recommend one or a combination of methods based on what fits best. Sessions can evolve over time as needs change and progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to connect across distances. These options allow for regular, consistent work on coping skills, DBT techniques, and between-session practice, helping clients maintain momentum while receiving licensed professional support.
