About Michelle

Michelle Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides therapy to adults aged 18 and over. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices from New Jersey. Michelle brings a warm, hopeful presence to sessions and often uses gentle humor to ease difficult conversations.

She focuses on anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Michelle also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting strains, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Her work includes support around relationship concerns, career stress, and finding meaning during transitions. Michelle uses narrative ideas alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening. Sessions aim to help people name the stories that shape their choices and try new ways of responding.

She favors practical tools people can use between meetings, like short behavioral steps and mindful practices. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Michelle listens first, then offers options that match a person’s goals and daily life.

She encourages small experiments so people can see what helps. Outside of clinical work she values continuing education, time outdoors at the beach or camping, and moments with pets and family. Michelle trained as an adult student and is motivated by connecting people to community resources and supports.

Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michelle blends Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered listening to help people rethink the stories that shape their choices. Narrative work focuses on the personal stories people carry and helps separate the person from unhelpful problem narratives. It can help with identity questions, life transitions, and feeling stuck.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing internal experiences while choosing actions that match what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want tools to move forward even with uncomfortable feelings. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, offering empathy and support while the therapist follows the client's lead.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Michelle collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try, adjusting based on goals and what feels useful. She invites small experiments so clients can test new ways of coping and then refine the plan together.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video is useful when visual interaction helps the work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat supports quick check-ins and brief reflections. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent therapeutic momentum.
