About Michelle
Michelle Edmond is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, and depression. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is most urgent for each person. Michelle aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for a stressed parent or caregiver.
Michelle holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and practices in Florida. She has five years of focused therapy experience supporting people through life changes and emotional challenges.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with caregiving stress, attachment questions, and issues that often follow major life transitions. In sessions she creates a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Michelle draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
She also uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to break down unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns. She brings solution-focused and narrative techniques when people want clear steps or to reframe difficult stories from their past. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding the drive to make a change.
These approaches are mixed to match the situation rather than used in one fixed way. Michelle works with adults on concerns ranging from parenting strain and fatherhood issues to addiction, loneliness, and questions of life purpose. She keeps language simple and action-oriented so sessions feel useful between meetings.

Approaches and how online therapy fits your life
Michelle blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that are easy to understand. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person, which helps build a trusting working relationship. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple strategies to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, anger, and depression.She also uses motivational interviewing when people are unsure about change. That method emphasizes the client’s own reasons and readiness for change and can help with parenting goals or substance use concerns. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; the therapist and the client decide together which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls let people have a full conversation and see facial cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for faster check-ins, and text-based messaging supports shorter, ongoing communication between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a caregiving schedule, or a hectic home life.
