About Michelle
Michelle Schmidt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 19 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and anger. Her work also includes concerns like parenting, intimacy-related issues, addictions, ADHD, and caregiver stress.
Michelle has practiced in outpatient settings and in clients' homes. She uses a strengths-based, solution-focused approach that looks for what already works for a person. Sessions concentrate on practical steps and real-world changes rather than long theoretical discussion.
Clients can expect to talk through current problems and identify small, manageable goals. Michelle emphasizes building on a person's existing skills and resources. That can mean trying new ways to respond when anger or frustration arise, or learning coping techniques for anxiety and depression.
Her background includes nearly two decades of direct clinical work across community settings. That experience informs a straightforward style that favors clear strategies and measurable progress. Michelle also brings experience with grief, end-of-life concerns, and caregiver strain.
People who contact her typically want concrete help for recurring patterns - snapping at partners, mounting resentment, work stress, or trouble concentrating because of ADHD. She asks practical questions and helps clients design steps they can try between sessions. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site's process for connecting and scheduling a first meeting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Michelle works from strengths-based and solution-focused methods. Strengths-based work looks for the skills and habits a person already uses, then applies them to current problems. This can help when anger flares by identifying existing ways someone calms down or redirects frustration.Solution-focused work targets small, concrete changes you can try between sessions. Sessions often produce short experiments or specific steps to reduce snapping, manage workplace frustration, or ease resentment. These techniques are practical for mood, grief, and relationship concerns as well.
Finding the right method is part of the process. Michelle will collaborate with clients to determine which approach fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what has or hasn't worked before and adjusts plans together so the work feels doable.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or after work. They also let people try strategies in their everyday environment and bring real-time situations into discussion.
