About Michele
Michele Ellis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with five years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and anger. Michele offers practical support for problems that interrupt daily life and close relationships.
She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. Michele looks at background, values, and life circumstances to understand what fuels stress and emotional reactivity. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small changes make a difference day to day.
Michele helps people who feel isolated, stuck in shame, or overwhelmed by workplace pressure. She meets concerns such as attachment or abandonment worries, mood disorders, social anxiety, and issues related to caregiving and chronic illness. She also works with people navigating life transitions and military-related experiences.
In sessions Michele addresses anger and self-esteem in straightforward ways. She helps clients name triggers, practice alternative responses, and build clearer boundaries. The aim is to reduce the amount of time spent reacting and increase moments of clearer choice.
Michele respects each person's spiritual or secular perspective and includes those values in planning. She explains options, suggests evidence-based techniques, and checks in regularly about what is or is not helping. Getting started involves a short intake and scheduling the first session through the online matching flow.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Many evidence-based approaches focus on practical skills that transfer well to online work. One common technique uses skills training to teach emotion regulation and breathing or grounding exercises that reduce reactivity in moments of anger. These skills are useful for stress, anxiety, and mood regulation.Another helpful method involves exploring past attachment patterns and how they affect current relationships. This approach looks at how early relationships shape responses to conflict and helps people practice different ways of relating when they feel triggered. It is often used for abandonment worries, relationship strain, and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in and adjust methods if something does not feel helpful, keeping the focus on what works in day-to-day life.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Ask about available session types when you select the online therapy options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or family commitments are easier to manage.
