About Michelle

Michelle Carr is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood changes, and care-related life shifts. She aims to make sessions feel calm and approachable so clients can speak honestly and begin practical work on problems that matter to them. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental.

She encourages people to bring whatever is on their mind and meet it in a steady, understanding space. She offers straightforward tools and small practice exercises clients can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Michelle draws from several approaches to tailor the work to each person. She uses client-centered listening to understand priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions. She also integrates EMDR for trauma-informed work when appropriate.

Across seven years as a clinician she has supported people with depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, addiction, anger, and ADHD challenges. She has experience helping people cope with domestic violence, immigration stress, communication or family problems, and issues related to sexual assault and women's health. Sessions are offered by a licensed mental health counselor based in Florida and are conducted in English.

Michelle emphasizes small, doable steps and a collaborative pace so clients can build confidence and make steady change.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Michelle uses client-centered therapy to create a steady, listening space where clients set the agenda and pace. That method helps people clarify what matters most and feel heard before trying specific strategies.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and shifting daily habits that get in the way of feeling better. When emotions feel overwhelming, she draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach practical techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits each person's life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for quick check-ins or shorter practice work. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or other responsibilities while keeping momentum between sessions.
