Hello! I’m Michelina, though you can call me Michelle. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience, based in Pennsylvania. I hold a Master’s degree from Fordham University, and my focus is on helping adults navigate the challenges of anxiety and depression. Together, we work as a team to manage symptoms and guide you toward becoming the best version of yourself.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and explore what truly matters to you. We'll talk about the life you envision for yourself and identify the obstacles standing in your way. From there, if we feel we are a good fit, we’ll work together to develop a plan to overcome those challenges and help you move forward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with adults struggling with anxiety and depression. Throughout this time, I’ve developed a deep understanding of various techniques and therapeutic approaches that can effectively support your personal growth. Together, we’ll explore the strategies that resonate with you and help you build the skills needed to achieve your goals and improve your overall well-being.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and unhelpful behaviors. By working collaboratively, we explore the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and develop practical strategies to foster healthier thinking and more effective coping skills. This evidence-based approach empowers clients to gain control over their mental health and improve their overall well-being.
