About Michelle

Michelle Davis is a licensed social worker in Michigan who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help clients navigate stress, mood concerns, relationship challenges, and ADHD among other issues. With 13 years of clinical experience she blends evidence-based methods and a strengths-oriented stance to create individualized treatment plans.

Background and approach

Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, intimacy and sleep problems, as well as family and parenting difficulties. Grounded in client-centered values, she emphasizes that each person is the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths to support change.

Michelle commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and other structured approaches to help clients develop new coping skills, while also incorporating mindfulness and relational strategies when appropriate. She adapts her style to each client’s needs and frames therapy as a collaborative process that welcomes courage and steady progress.

Michelle holds the LMSW credential and brings practical, compassionate support to people working through life transitions, co-occurring concerns, and long-standing patterns that interfere with well-being.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care



Michelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective strategies, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, sleep issues, and other practical concerns. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s experience, offering empathetic listening and collaboration to build on existing strengths and personal insight.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done together. She will work with clients to evaluate goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as needs evolve so therapy remains a collaborative effort tailored to the individual.

Online therapy sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use different communication styles to suit comfort and progress. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions across remote formats to help clients practice skills and track progress between sessions.
