About Michelle
Michelle Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings three years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical, goal-oriented work for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Michelle writes and speaks plainly so parents and busy adults can follow along easily.
She centers sessions around clear, manageable steps. Michelle listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, then helps clients try small changes that add up.
Background and approach
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical strategies to help with anxiety, panic, and strong emotions. Attachment and family issues are a common part of her practice. Michelle helps clients untangle family of origin problems, manage caregiver stress, and cope with fallout from relationships affected by substance use or narcissistic behaviors.
Parenting concerns are addressed with concrete strategies for communication and boundaries rather than abstract theory. Her style is warm and direct. Michelle balances empathy with specific techniques you can use between sessions.
She often assigns simple experiments or short practice exercises to test what works in daily life. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Michelle works collaboratively to set goals and track progress so clients notice real shifts in thinking and behavior over time.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then commit to actions that match your values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and getting unstuck during life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It includes clear exercises and homework you can use between sessions to track progress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication. These skills are helpful when panic, anger, or relationship conflict feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle partners with clients to match methods to individual goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adjusts techniques over time based on what proves helpful during sessions and between meetings.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit help into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual check-in is useful. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing reflection between scheduled meetings. These options offer flexibility so therapy can continue around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
