Licensed to practice in Florida and accepts 37 insurances. Specializes in Grief, Health/Medical Issues, Life Transitions
Hi, I’m Michelle Ranglin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in grief and loss, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, and substance use. I also support clients working through anger, building self-awareness, and reaching personal goals. My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, faith based, focused on creating a safe space where you feel heard and supported.
Clients can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where they feel heard, supported, and free to express all emotions. I encourage open conversation about what matters most to them while also offering new perspectives that can help shift thinking and promote growth. Each session includes practical tools and insights that clients can apply in their everyday lives. My goal is to help clients feel empowered, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
My approach to therapy is supportive, collaborative, and goal-focused. I draw from supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and grief counseling to help clients manage emotions, build coping skills, and navigate life transitions. I also integrate aspects of motivational interviewing and mindfulness-based techniques to support personal growth, self-awareness, and healing. Every session is tailored to meet the unique needs of each person, with an emphasis on creating a safe and empowering space.
My ideal clients are individuals and families seeking healing, growth, and stability during life transitions or emotional challenges. They are motivated to make positive changes, open to self-reflection, and committed to improving their mental and emotional well-being. Whether overcoming family conflict, grief, or personal obstacles, they share a common goal restoring balance and building a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients recognize and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that influence their emotions and behaviors. By teaching coping skills and practical strategies, I support clients in developing healthier ways of thinking and responding to life’s challenges. CBT allows me to help clients gain insight and create lasting behavioral change through self-awareness and accountability.
Motivational Interviewing
I utilize Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore their ambivalence and strengthen their internal motivation for change. Through empathetic listening and collaborative conversation, I guide clients toward identifying their own reasons and readiness for growth. This approach allows me to empower individuals to take ownership of their personal goals and progress at their own pace.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients identify strengths, past successes, and resources they can use to overcome current challenges. This approach emphasizes what is working rather than what is wrong, helping clients set clear, achievable goals. I use SFBT to encourage hope, build confidence, and facilitate measurable progress in a short time frame.
