About Michelle
Michelle Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides therapy to adults aged 18 and older. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a direct, encouraging style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Michelle keeps sessions personable and sometimes uses humor to lighten heavy moments while staying focused on practical steps forward.
Michelle focuses on common struggles such as coping with transitions, relationship stresses, parenting pressures, anger, and career concerns.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues related to identity and belonging. Additional areas of attention include aging and geriatric matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, postpartum mood challenges, and feelings of isolation. Her approach blends several evidence-based methods.
Michelle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns, and Mindfulness techniques to build calm in daily life. She also draws on Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to create a warm, skills-focused process. Sessions aim to be practical.
Michelle works with people to set clear goals, learn coping skills, and try small changes between meetings. She helps parents and young adults consider next steps and problem-solve real-world demands. Outside of clinical work she values continued learning, time at the beach and camping, and being with pets and family.
Michelle trained and practices in New Jersey as an LCSW and holds a CSW credential as well.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on values-driven action and is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking patterns and behavior, helping people test and change unhelpful ideas to reduce symptoms of depression and worry. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to increase attention and calm, which can help with racing thoughts, overwhelm, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with clients to choose or combine methods based on goals and preferences. This is a team effort - she helps people try techniques, see what fits, and adjust as needed over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirror in-person sessions, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, symptom tracking, or brief skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and try different formats until the best fit is found.
