About Michelle

Michelle Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in New Jersey. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and has nine years of clinical experience. Michelle works with adults 18 and older and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. She uses a mix of practical tools and listening to help people manage daily struggles. Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and talking through the situations that feel overwhelming right now.

Michelle draws on several therapeutic methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance-based strategies. She also uses client-centered and dialectical behavior ideas to help people build coping skills and improve emotional balance. These approaches are used to address issues like relationship strain, parenting stress, career concerns, and burnout.

She has additional experience with aging and geriatric issues, caregiving stress, chronic pain and illness, attachment concerns, ADHD, and postpartum depression. Michelle aims to meet each person where they are and to tailor steps that fit their life and values.

Outside of work she enjoys beach and camping trips, pets, and time with family and friends. Her style blends encouragement, hope, and a touch of humor while helping people practice new skills and build resilience.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. It can help with depression, life transitions, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits. This is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and problem solving. Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest techniques drawn from these methods. The choice of strategies is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, which can help make new habits stick.
