About Michelle

Michelle Carr is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood instability, and life transitions. She keeps sessions simple and direct so you can talk honestly about what’s on your mind. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on practical steps to feel steadier day to day.

In session she aims to create a calm, open space where clients can show up as they are.

Background and approach

Michelle listens closely and helps people name patterns that get in the way. She offers coping skills and short practice tasks to try between sessions. These are meant to build skills that carry into everyday life.

Michelle blends several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from Narrative Therapy to help clients reframe personal stories and from Client-Centered work to keep the focus on the person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral strategies are used when helpful to change thinking and behavior patterns that increase distress.

She has seven years of clinical experience and holds an LMHC, which means she is licensed to practice in Florida. Michelle has supported people through trauma, domestic violence, addictions, grief, anger, relationship strain, and issues related to sexual assault and immigration. She also works with concerns common to young adults and women.

Sessions are offered in English and Michelle accepts international clients. She recommends identifying small, achievable goals at the start of care and tailoring techniques to what actually fits each person’s life. Her approach centers on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How narrative and skills-based work translates to online care

Therapy here often uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reshape the stories they carry about themselves. That work focuses on identifying unhelpful themes in life narratives and building new, more helpful ways of describing struggles and strengths. Narrative work can be useful for grief, identity questions, trauma, and relationship stress.

Michelle also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s goals and priorities. Sessions focus on listening, reflection, and helping people decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides straightforward tools to change thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and mood instability.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the first few sessions. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. Clients and therapist check in regularly and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum between sessions.
