About Michelle
Michelle Harmolin is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and the strain of life transitions. She also supports concerns such as addiction, relationship and family problems, grief, and parenting challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and Michelle does not take international clients.
Michelle uses practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions. Conversations focus on clearer communication, recognizing patterns that lead to outbursts or withdrawal, and building healthier coping routines. She brings attention to how attachment, abandonment worries, and control issues affect daily reactions. Work on anger looks at triggers, impulsivity, and ways to express frustration without escalating conflict.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods to keep the client's perspective central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift thought patterns that fuel anxiety, shame, or anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing techniques are used when they fit the client's goals.
Michelle describes her practice as affirming for LGBTQ+ people and those exploring gender identity or relationship questions. She listens for patterns like codependency, isolation, jealousy, and problems with forgiveness, then helps people try different strategies in session. She also works with substance use concerns alongside emotional issues.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the client's concerns and goals at the center. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people clarify what matters most to them. This approach is useful when someone needs a respectful space to sort through feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It can help with anger that grows from negative automatic thoughts or distorted assumptions about others. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which are useful when anger feels overwhelming or impulsive.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust strategies based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to keep using and which to set aside.
