Michelle Davis, LMSW

Michelle Davis is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people deal with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She works in Michigan and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Her approach centers on listening first, then building a plan the person feels comfortable with.

She uses Client-Centered techniques to follow each person's priorities and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness tools are used to teach emotion regulation and present-moment coping skills.

Michelle often helps people facing family conflict, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and issues around attachment. She also supports those managing addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep or eating disruptions, bipolar mood challenges, and ADHD. Jealousy and communication problems are included among the relationship topics she addresses.

The first meetings focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps that fit everyday life. Sessions are collaborative - Michelle treats the person as the expert in their own story and builds on existing strengths. Progress is tracked in small, manageable goals.

She adapts methods to each situation rather than sticking to one style. People who want clear tools, concrete skills, and a respectful listener may find this approach helpful. Before booking, confirm session options and scheduling details to match personal needs.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and using their strengths to set goals. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, checks what matters most, and shapes sessions around the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches clear skills to change habits that cause distress. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and behavioral patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to try methods that match goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include adjusting techniques as progress is made and choosing practical skills that fit each person’s routines.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so it’s easier to keep regular appointments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when time is limited, while others use longer weekly sessions for skill work. Confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are available and pick what best fits your day.
