About Michelle

Michelle Homa is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 24 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, family-related issues, grief, and anger. Michelle works with people who are dealing with difficult emotions and shifting life circumstances.

Her sessions aim to help people understand their feelings and improve how they communicate. She often supports clients who are coping with mood concerns, workplace stress, social unease, or isolation. Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide that work.

Michelle pays attention to patterns that come from attachment, family of origin, and past losses. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, control problems, guilt and shame, and caregiver stress. Practical skills and clearer self-awareness are common goals in her conversations.

People who face chronic illness, chronic pain, or disability can bring those struggles into session alongside emotional concerns. Michelle also attends to concerns tied to aging and to neurodiversity, including autism and Asperger syndrome. She works on concrete steps for coping and daily functioning.

Her approach is collaborative and focused on measurable change. Sessions include talking through experiences, learning coping strategies, and practicing communication techniques. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Michelle draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and understanding. One common approach centers on helping people recognize and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach emphasizes building communication and problem-solving skills to manage relationship stress and everyday demands.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process that may include trying different techniques and adjusting them to what helps most.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity of care during life changes, but be sure to check which formats are offered when you schedule.
