About Michelle
Michelle Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who offers therapy to adults in New Jersey. She draws on nine years of clinical experience and a long-standing interest in mental health that began during college. Michelle blends warmth and a sense of humor with steady support to help people work through hard moments.
Her style is encouraging and practical. She helps clients break challenges into small steps. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills that can be practiced between meetings, and troubleshooting what gets in the way.
Background and approach
Michelle aims to build resilience and daily coping tools rather than quick fixes. Michelle commonly helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting concerns, life transitions, and ADHD-related struggles. She also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, relationship problems, compassion fatigue, and career stress.
Additional areas of attention include postpartum depression, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and isolation. Her clinical approach uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those approaches are adapted to the person in the room and the goals they bring to therapy.
Outside of work she enjoys beach and camping trips, pets, and time with family and friends. Michelle values ongoing learning and brings a pragmatic, hopeful stance to sessions.

Practical therapies you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their concerns, goals, and what has or has not worked before. Together they try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan based on real results and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls let conversations feel most like in-person work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting and other responsibilities.
