About Michelle
Michelle Tiger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with four years listed experience as a therapist. She works with adults on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, codependency, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and life transitions.
Michelle draws on a long background in health and community services before focusing on psychotherapy. She has worked in aging services, hospice, home care, adult day programs, and community re-entry, and has experience with people in correctional settings. That practical background shapes how she looks at problems now: she notices everyday pressures and the routines that keep them going.
In sessions she uses straightforward, evidence-based methods. She talks with clients about patterns of thinking and behavior that keep them stuck. She also offers coaching around job searching and employment concerns when people want practical next steps.
Michelle names several specific methods she uses, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She also has experience addressing insomnia as part of sleep work and encourages movement and nutrition as part of overall coping strategies.
She identifies as an LGBTQ+ ally and describes her work as nonjudgmental and supportive. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session to discuss goals and decide next steps together.
How sessions work
How Michelle uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on values and small committed steps that build a life worth living and can help with depression, anxiety, and relationship patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching practical skills to try between sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on what the client wants to work on and uses listening and reflection to help clarify goals. This approach is useful when someone wants to talk through relationship dynamics, parenting choices, or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Michelle will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust as those needs change. That collaboration helps make sessions feel focused and practical.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let people use strategies learned in session more quickly in their daily life.
