About Michelle
Michelle Juhasz is a licensed clinical social worker with a decade of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices in New Jersey. Her style is respectful and straightforward, with a focus on practical steps people can use right away.
Michelle often works with people coping with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing panic attacks, social anxiety, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Background and approach
Sessions center on clear goals and skills that fit each person’s daily life. Her approach is collaborative. She tailors conversations and plans to the person in front of her instead of relying on one fixed method.
That means sessions may include problem-solving, emotional processing, and strategies to lessen overwhelm and increase confidence. Michelle values sensitivity and respect in the room. She encourages small, steady steps toward change and helps people notice progress along the way.
Her work is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. Clients can expect a mix of short-term strategies and longer-term work when needed. Michelle draws on ten years of varied clinical experience to shape treatment.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make ongoing contact easier for different schedules.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world skills and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes building practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach centers on trauma-informed work that helps people name difficult experiences, process strong emotions, and develop safer ways of responding when memories or flashbacks arise.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend options that fit their situation. The plan can change over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge, and decisions are made collaboratively.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share updates, try quick coping tools, or stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and busy days.
