About Michelle
Michelle Underwood is a Florida LMHC with 15 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She works with people who are fed up with snapping at loved ones, struggling with workplace frustration, or trying to handle built-up resentment.
Her sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to help clients notice what matters, accept difficult feelings, and take action in line with their values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early patterns shape current reactions.
She also brings tools from Existential and Jungian-influenced thinking to help people question patterns and make clearer choices. For relationship issues she uses principles from the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce escalation. Michelle offers straightforward coaching around coping skills, sleep, and routines when those areas are part of the problem.
Her work includes addiction-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, body image and eating issues, and ADHD-related challenges. She helps with parenting stress, family-of-origin problems, and difficult life changes without judgment. Sessions aim to identify a few concrete changes a person can try between meetings.
Michelle works in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when feelings are difficult. It can help with anger by shifting attention to what matters and building skills to respond rather than react. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions. Online sessions can use attachment ideas to recognize triggers and practice new ways of connecting or signaling needs to others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses active listening and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. That stance supports practical work on coping, communication, and relationship patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match goals, preferences, and the kinds of problems being faced. Expect a mix of noticing patterns, practicing new responses, and setting simple experiments to try between sessions. The biography does not list session formats explicitly, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain steady progress while juggling everyday responsibilities.Areas of focus
