Michelle Tiger

Michelle Tiger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who presents a calm, practical approach to therapy. She draws on her background to help people manage anger, stress, anxiety, sleep trouble, and major life changes. She talks plainly about goals and steps so clients know what to expect in sessions.

Michelle has four years of therapy experience and earlier roles in aging services, hospice, home care, and community re-entry. That history shaped how she looks at health, caregiving, and the everyday pressures people carry. She also offers coaching around job searching and employment challenges alongside clinical work.

In session she uses client-centered methods and evidence-based tools. Michelle helps people notice thought patterns and behaviors that keep them stuck. She introduces small, practical changes - like movement, nutrition, and routine - that can support mental and physical well-being.

She lists several clinical approaches she uses, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and solution-focused work. Michelle is an LGBTQ+ ally and frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets goals and she helps map steps toward them.

Her background includes work with adults in correctional facilities and in community-based care settings. Michelle emphasizes that change is incremental and that therapy is a gradual process. She invites clients to set manageable goals and to track progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small steps toward them even when emotions feel intense. It is useful for worry, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention to breathing and bodily cues to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions often include practical exercises and homework so progress can continue between meetings.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can still make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone join a session from a quieter room or avoid camera use if that helps them focus. Licensed professionals tailor the mix of techniques to fit each person’s situation and schedule.
