About Michelle

Michelle Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW) based in New Jersey who brings nine years of clinical practice to her work with adults.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, coping with life changes, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, parenting, and career-related issues, and she draws on evidence-based therapies to help clients navigate these struggles. Michelle frames therapy with warmth, encouragement, and a touch of humor to build resilience and practical coping skills.

Her background includes a sustained commitment to helping people manage life stressors and connect with community resources, a path that began during her college years and continued through ongoing professional development. Michelle also attends to related areas like aging and geriatric issues, attachment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, postpartum and perinatal concerns, and young adult transitions.

Outside of clinical work she values continuing education, outdoor trips to the beach and camping, animals, and time with family and friends.

Approaches for Online Care and Practical Skills

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes identifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions; it can be helpful for life transitions, anxiety, and building long-term motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through structured exercises and skill practice, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and grounding techniques to manage stress, emotion regulation, and attention-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then tailor techniques from these modalities to fit the client’s needs and evolving priorities. This flexibility helps create a treatment plan that feels practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience and accessibility for adults balancing work, family, or other commitments. These formats allow for consistent progress without the need to travel, and they support ongoing skill practice between meetings through written exchanges and real-time coaching.
