About Michelle
Michelle Cohen Negri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem, including social anxiety and phobia. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Michelle draws on a background as a former professional athlete to shape how she works. That experience informs a focus on discipline, perseverance, and practical steps. In sessions she looks for manageable actions clients can try between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to what is helping and what is getting in the way.
Her methods include evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used to help people manage distress, notice unhelpful patterns, and build emotional regulation skills. Michelle also integrates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and solution-focused work to support clearer problem-solving and coping strategies.
She pays attention to attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and relationship changes like divorce or separation. Michelle also works with concerns tied to life purpose, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth, sexuality, and women’s issues.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Michelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves short exercises and clear worksheets that make it easier to practice new skills between sessions.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help clients notice stress and anxiety in the body and mind without getting swept up by it. Mindfulness work is often taught through brief exercises and simple daily practices to build tolerance for uncomfortable moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will collaborate with clients to decide which techniques to try based on their goals, comfort level, and daily life. That collaborative process helps focus sessions on what a person needs now and what to build toward next.
Confirm current session formats before booking. The practical advantages of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, using shorter check-ins when time is limited, and choosing audio-only or video when that better suits a person’s needs. These options can make it easier to keep therapy going alongside work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
