Michelle Flynn, LCSW

Michelle Flynn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She helps people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. Her style is down-to-earth and often gently humorous so people can relax and talk without feeling judged.

She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also addresses trauma and abuse, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and eating or intimacy-related concerns. Michelle supports people working through relationship and family stresses and those navigating LGBT issues.

Her approach blends practical problem-solving with attention to the whole person. Sessions look at physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs and the different roles someone plays in life. She uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people gain perspective and build coping skills.

Michelle emphasizes clear listening and helping clients sort out patterns that get in the way. She invites clients to explore memories, reactions, and behaviors so they can develop healthier habits and set clearer boundaries. Her own experience with a physical disability informs a thoughtful, relatable way of connecting with people facing physical challenges.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective ones. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms because it focuses on skills you can practice between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to you and helps resolve mixed feelings about change. It is useful for building motivation to try new coping strategies or to change patterns that feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and personal preferences and then recommend methods to try. That recommendation is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life because it removes travel time, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can be scheduled around work or family commitments. It also gives therapists and clients a way to continue care when circumstances make in-person meetings difficult.
