Michelle Singleton

Michelle Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a straightforward, encouraging manner to sessions. Michelle works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, life transitions, and related concerns.

Michelle uses practical conversation and gentle humor to make hard topics easier to talk about. She focuses on building skills that help people get through rough patches and make steady changes. Sessions are grounded in real-life goals rather than abstract theory.

Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices. That combination helps people notice what matters most, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and practice emotional skills between sessions.

Michelle also supports people facing parenting stress, career strains, compassion fatigue, ADHD challenges, and identity-related concerns for LGBT clients. She pays attention to how physical health, caregiving roles, and life stage changes affect mood and functioning.

Outside of work she values continuing education, time with family and friends, pets, and outdoor trips to the beach or camping. Michelle frames therapy as a team effort - practical, steady, and focused on building resilience one step at a time.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors with practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions). Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional awareness, which supports anger and anxiety management.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they’ll adjust strategies across sessions until something feels useful and doable.

Confirm current session options before booking, as session formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone practice skills in the settings where they live and work. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your routine and needs.
