About Michelle

Michelle St. Raymond is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 31 years of experience practicing in Louisiana.

Background and approach

She builds on a long regional history and a breadth of life experience to help people navigate major transitions, trauma recovery, and relationship growth. Her work emphasizes practical strategies alongside compassion, drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to support shifts in thinking, emotion, and behavior.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client leads and the therapist guides, helping clients develop new skills for change while honoring the stresses of letting go. Michelle integrates body-awareness and natural healing ideas with evidence-based tools to address anxiety, stress, grief, self-esteem, addiction concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and family or intimacy issues.

Clients seeking structured techniques and a heart-centered therapeutic presence may find her style well suited to navigating life changes and building sustainable coping strategies.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning skills to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and how they influence current relationships, helping people develop more supported ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to consider symptoms, goals, and preferences and then tailors therapeutic techniques accordingly, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, enable frequent check-ins when helpful, and provide alternative ways to engage in therapy based on comfort and accessibility.
