About Michelle

Michelle Walsh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience providing individual and group therapy across a range of settings. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in social work from Rutgers University in 2008 and completed the advanced standing Master of Social Work program at Fordham University in 2009, specializing in substance abuse. Her professional background includes work in private practice, outpatient mental health clinics, and a homeless shelter, and she has experience supporting veterans and their family members.

Over the course of her career Michelle has treated depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use concerns, and relationship difficulties, among other challenges. She integrates a holistic perspective into her clinical work, incorporating mindfulness practices and meditation alongside traditional therapeutic techniques. In addition to her social work credentials she is a certified Reiki Master, which reflects her interest in complementary healing approaches.

Michelle emphasizes the importance of a strong therapeutic connection and approaches care with empathy and collaboration. She focuses on helping clients identify areas of concern and building practical tools and resources that can be used between sessions. Her aim is to listen attentively, support growth, and guide clients toward skills they can apply in everyday life.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Care

Michelle Walsh draws on client-centered therapy to place the individual's experience at the heart of treatment, creating a supportive space where clients set the pace and focus of the work. This approach is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding, stronger coping skills, and improved relationships. She also integrates mindfulness therapy, which uses present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce stress, ease anxiety, and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with clients to identify their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and together they determine which methods feel most useful. That partnership helps tailor sessions so techniques are relevant and practical for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care around work, family, and other commitments, and they enable licensed professionals and therapists to provide ongoing support across different formats that fit the client's life.
