About Michelle
Michelle Skoien is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of experience helping people build resilience and recover from difficult life events.
Background and approach
She focuses on practical skills that promote balance across physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual areas of life, aiming to help clients regain calm and confidence. Michelle emphasizes hope and perseverance as part of the healing process and offers a warm, welcoming environment for learning coping strategies.
Her work addresses stress, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem, parenting concerns, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD, along with related themes such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and self-love. Sessions introduce tools drawn from client-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches so clients can practice techniques that fit their daily lives.
Michelle’s long experience includes supporting people through trauma and bereavement and helping children develop classroom coping skills, all with the aim of fostering lasting resilience and renewed hope.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting each person’s own direction for change. In online sessions this means the therapist prioritizes understanding the client’s perspective and helps them explore values and goals in a nonjudgmental way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often structured and goal-oriented, making it easy to use tools and worksheets during remote sessions to practice between meetings.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to weigh needs, goals, and personal preferences and may combine elements from different methods to find what fits best. Clients and the therapist review progress and adapt strategies over time so the plan stays aligned with evolving priorities.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to access regular support, practice skills in real time, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver structured, skill-focused work that supports coping, resilience, and daily functioning.
