About Michelle
Michelle Brown is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and big life changes. She connects with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Michelle writes and speaks plainly in sessions to make things feel doable rather than overwhelming.
She draws on 14 years of experience as an LCSW, working alongside people to build small, practical habits that ease day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Michelle uses tools from somatic work to help people notice how the body holds stress. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people clarify values and change unhelpful patterns. In sessions she focuses on moment-to-moment coping skills, grounding exercises, and clear steps clients can try between meetings.
Michelle pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and in behavior, then helps clients practice different ways to respond. This makes progress feel concrete instead of abstract. Her additional focus areas include chronic pain or illness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, social anxiety, and women’s issues.
Michelle meets people where they are and tailors the work to each person’s needs and goals. Michelle is based in Texas and provides therapy in English. She explains options clearly and partners with clients to choose approaches that match their life and values.
How somatic work and practical therapies translate online
Somatic work helps people notice physical sensations connected to emotions and learn simple body-based grounding techniques to reduce overwhelm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) guides people to clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to change how someone feels.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps tailor somatic exercises, ACT values work, or CBT experiments so they fit a person’s life and daily routine.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to access care from home or between tasks. These options offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility, and they allow repeated practice of skills in real-world settings. The variety of formats also lets people pick what feels most comfortable as they try different tools and approaches.
