Michelle Brown, LCSW

Michelle Brown is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Michelle speaks plainly and aims to help people regain a sense of control during hard times.

She helps with depression, grief, and big life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, panic attacks, social anxiety, and struggles around guilt or loneliness. Chronic illness, pain, and issues around sexuality and women's concerns are included in her work when relevant.

Michelle uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps.

Attachment-based work and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used when relationships and emotion regulation are focal points. Motivational interviewing can appear in sessions when someone wants help finding the momentum to make changes.

Sessions emphasize clear, manageable tools and a collaborative plan set by the client and therapist. Michelle practices in Texas and holds the LCSW credential. She offers therapy in English and does not accept international clients at this time.

How Michelle brings evidence-based approaches online

Michelle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without letting them stop meaningful action. ACT focuses on values and committed steps, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and test them with small behavioral experiments. CBT offers concrete strategies for symptoms like panic, social anxiety, and low mood.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt methods based on what works. That collaborative process helps tailor techniques to everyday life and makes sessions more useful.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins on particularly tight days, or allow sessions without commuting. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help clients practice skills between meetings and apply tools directly to real situations.
