About Michelle
Michelle Savage is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress or anxiety and those facing relationship struggles. She also supports people working through trauma, grief, and major life transitions.
Michelle encourages open conversation in sessions. She aims to create a calm space where clients can say what they feel without judgment. She emphasizes practical steps people can try between meetings to feel steadier in daily life.
Background and approach
Her background includes long-term work in Florida settings that address loss, reproductive and postpartum concerns, and end-of-life care. That experience has shaped how she responds to difficult news and ongoing uncertainty. Michelle often helps people navigate divorce or separation, questions around infidelity, and the emotional effects of fertility challenges.
She also has experience supporting those managing post-traumatic stress related to abuse and other traumatic events. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Therapy can take different forms depending on each person’s needs, and she works with clients to choose which approach fits best.
Approaches that guide online care
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes creating a safe space to talk through trauma and abuse, helping people make sense of painful memories and reduce their day-to-day distress. Another commonly used method targets anxiety and stress by teaching coping skills and breathing or grounding practices to manage symptoms in the moment.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals and concerns, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That way the strategies feel useful and match each person’s pace and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging give options for shorter updates or ongoing support between longer appointments.
