About Michele
Michele Ellis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of clinical experience based in Florida. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Michele also supports individuals dealing with social anxiety and phobia, isolation, workplace stress, and life transitions.
Michele listens for the events and patterns that shape daily life. She asks concrete questions about what makes a person feel stuck and what has helped before. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings, as well as understanding how past experiences influence present reactions.
Her approach pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns that affect how people connect and respond to others. Michele addresses issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, body image, and caregiver stress with straightforward interventions and reflective conversation. She also works with people coping with chronic pain, mood disorders, and concerns related to military service.
Michele includes discussion of a person’s values and, when relevant, spiritual beliefs. That can mean adapting language or examples to fit faith-based or secular perspectives. She explains options in clear terms so people can choose what fits their life.
Practical next steps are part of the process. Michele asks about daily routines, supports, and goals, and then co-creates short-term objectives. For newcomers she outlines what a first few sessions tend to cover and what to expect during early work together.
Approaches and how online sessions are handled
Michele uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach she draws on helps people learn skills to manage strong emotions and reduce avoidance. These techniques teach breathing and attention strategies, and practical ways to face situations that cause anxiety.Another approach centers on how relationships shape behavior and feelings. This work looks at attachment patterns and how past connections affect current trust, closeness, and reactions to criticism. It can help with social anxiety, feelings of abandonment, and relationship-related stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele discusses options with each person and adjusts the plan based on goals, comfort, and what seems helpful in early sessions. She reviews progress regularly and changes course if a different method would fit better.
