(she/her)
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.
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.
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.
Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed just how overwhelming it can be to live with anxiety and depression. It often feels like you’re constantly battling your own thoughts and emotions, which can leave you feeling drained and stuck. I firmly believe that no one should have to go through this struggle alone or settle for a life burdened by these symptoms. Together, we can work toward relief and healing, helping you regain a sense of control and fulfillment in your life.

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.

Even though I've only had one session with Michelle, I can already tell she will be a good fit. Its not very often that you find one that you could be comfortable with or is a good fit. I look forward to my next session with her.

From the moment she popped on the screen, she was friendly and had a big smile. Michelle was kind, informative, knowledgeable, but most of all non judgemental and very sympathetic. I enjoyed our first meeting and cant wait to continue our therapy sessions. I have been looking for a good fit for me for a ling time.
