About Michelle
Michelle Robbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with nine years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, LGBTQ-related concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Michelle works with adults who want clearer boundaries and less reactivity in close relationships, including people noticing codependent patterns.
Her approach starts from the belief that each person knows their story best. She uses that as the foundation while offering practical techniques to manage symptoms and handle difficult moments. Sessions are focused and straightforward, with room to name what feels stuck and try small shifts that add up.
Michelle draws from client-centered work to keep conversations focused on the person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused elements help when someone needs momentum toward a specific change.
In therapy she helps people build clearer communication, manage mood and impulsivity, and reduce overwhelm from caregiving or stressful jobs. She also supports people dealing with grief, eating concerns, addictions, and intimacy issues. Her work often includes paying attention to attachment styles and how they shape current relationships.
Michelle practices in New Jersey and conducts sessions in English. Getting started involves a short intake process and scheduling a first session through the site's matching and booking steps.
How sessions work
How Michelle uses common approaches in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. In practice this means conversations that follow what matters to the client, with the therapist reflecting and helping clarify priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and gives practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle treats that as a collaboration - she will listen to a person's concerns and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they will adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes practicing skills between sessions more straightforward. Ask about session length and any scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match everyday life.
