Michelle Brown, LCSW

Michelle Brown is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and big life changes. She works with adults who are coping with ADHD and related challenges. Michelle speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone worried about starting therapy.

She draws on 14 years of experience to offer straightforward, practical support. Sessions focus on building coping strategies and expanding what feels possible day to day. Michelle listens for patterns that keep problems stuck and introduces tools to change those patterns in small, usable ways.

Her work addresses chronic pain, illness, and disability alongside mood issues and panic. She also helps people who feel isolated, ashamed, or unsure about life direction. Conversations often include skills for managing intense emotions and ways to reconnect with values and purpose.

Michelle uses several evidence-based approaches to tailor help to each person. That might look like learning skills to shift thinking, practicing new ways of relating, or trying short experiments to test what works. The focus is on clear, achievable steps rather than abstract explanations.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative style. Michelle reviews progress and adjusts plans as needed. She practices in Texas as an LCSW and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Michelle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and then focus on living in line with their values. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how relationships shape responses to stress and loneliness. That approach helps people identify recurring relationship patterns and try different ways of connecting that reduce isolation and increase emotional safety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Michelle treats it as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust direction over time based on what is useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continuity of care for people managing chronic illness or pain by avoiding extra trips to appointments. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you schedule so arrangements match your needs.
