Michelle Boyles, LCSW

Michelle Boyles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She practices in Florida and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, mood disorders, trauma and life changes. She also works with people facing codependency issues and caregiving stress.

Michelle uses straightforward, skills-based work to help clients gain insight and manage difficult feelings. She teaches coping strategies and offers practical education about mood disorders and substance use. Sessions often include clear steps to change patterns that cause repeated problems in relationships and work.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Psychology from Penn State University and a Master of Social Work from Georgia State University. She has provided care in inpatient crisis stabilization, residential programs, and outpatient therapy settings. That range means she understands both short-term crisis care and longer-term therapy needs.

Michelle has worked with many different age groups across settings, including children, teens, adults, and geriatrics, and has experience seeing individuals, couples, and families. Her core areas of experience are trauma and abuse, mood and personality disorders, substance abuse, family conflict, and life transitions.

In sessions she blends client-centered conversations with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. The focus is on helping people recognize patterns, learn new responses, and build skills they can use after sessions end.

If someone wants to address people-pleasing, boundary problems, or difficulty coping when a loved one drinks or cycles through moods, she offers direct help aimed at clearer choices and daily tools.
