About Michelle

Michelle Flynn brings 20 years of clinical social work experience to her practice, guiding people who feel overwhelmed by worry, memory lapses, or confusing patterns of behavior.

Background and approach

As an LCSW licensed in Florida (FL LCSW SW14801), she helps clients make sense of their lives by increasing self-awareness, building coping skills, and exploring events that have shaped current reactions. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, eating and intimacy-related issues, and relationship stressors.

Michelle favors a holistic stance that considers physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual factors as interconnected pieces of a larger picture. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to create a relaxed, nonjudgmental space where clients can be candid and curious about patterns.

Using a blend of practical strategies and supportive exploration, she helps clients set boundaries, process traumatic or life-changing experiences, and develop healthier ways of managing day-to-day challenges. Her approachable, occasionally humorous style and lived experience with a physical disability inform her empathetic, adaptable care.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility

Michelle often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and panic symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing and integrating traumatic or life-altering events with interventions designed to reduce trauma-related distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques and pacing accordingly. This collaborative planning helps ensure interventions match what the person hopes to change and the pace feels manageable.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy provides scheduling flexibility and easier access for people with busy lives or mobility limitations. These formats make it possible to continue steady work on coping skills, boundary-setting, and processing difficult experiences without frequent in-person travel, while allowing therapists to adapt homework, exercises, and check-ins to the medium that fits each client's routine.
