About Michelle
Michelle Cohen Negri is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage anxiety and stress. She combines a direct, down-to-earth style with steady support so clients can learn practical ways to feel better. Her background as a former professional athlete informs how she talks about resilience and commitment in therapy.
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, achievable steps that fit daily life. She emphasizes skills people can practice between meetings so progress feels real and manageable. The work often includes tools to calm intense emotions, rethink unhelpful thoughts, and improve communication.
Michelle pays attention to attachment and body image issues when those themes come up. She also supports people working through grief, forgiveness, guilt, and life transitions such as divorce or pregnancy and childbirth. Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and adjusted over time.
Her approach blends solution-focused ideas with cognitive and behavioral strategies and mindfulness exercises. That mix aims to build emotional regulation, clearer decision making, and more consistent coping. Michelle brings three years of clinical experience as an LCSW in Florida.
She conducts sessions in English and offers multiple online formats to fit varied schedules and needs.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Michelle often uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help people notice and change thinking patterns contributing to anxiety and low mood. These methods break problems into concrete parts and teach practical skills for day-to-day life.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises can calm the body and make it easier to use other coping skills during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts strategies as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from home; phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited; live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or those who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care when life gets in the way.
