About Michelle
Michelle Curry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers online therapy from Florida. She uses a warm, direct manner to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Michelle draws on practical strategies so sessions focus on real-life steps people can try between meetings.
She earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of South Florida and lists three years of professional experience.
Background and approach
Her background also includes a degree in Christian Counseling and a certification in crisis, trauma, and PTSD counseling. Michelle combines that training with several talk-therapy approaches to meet different needs. In session she helps people name patterns that cause distress and practices skills to change them.
She often uses tools from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based work to manage anxiety and mood. Attachment-focused ideas guide discussions about relational patterns and boundaries. Michelle also brings techniques from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming.
She supports people coping with addiction, codependency, caregiver stress, and family of origin issues with step-by-step skills and safety planning when needed. Her style is practical and compassionate. Michelle aims to help people gain clearer goals, try small experiments, and build steady routines that reduce worry and improve relationships.
How online approaches shape sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters. It uses values-based goals and simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build a life that feels meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches step-by-step strategies to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people build clearer boundaries and healthier connections.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust planning as needed so the work fits day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people keep therapy going around work, caregiving, or travel.
