About Michelle

Michelle Boyles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience in mental health and substance abuse counseling. She has practiced as a master's-level licensed therapist since 2001 and has held her Florida LCSW since 2012. Michelle completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Penn State University and earned a Master of Social Work from Georgia State University.

Her clinical background spans inpatient crisis stabilization, residential treatment, and outpatient therapy, providing care for children, teens, adults, and geriatric clients. She has worked with individuals, couples, and families, developing a broad skill set in treating trauma and abuse, mood and personality disorders, substance use concerns, family conflict, and the challenges of life transitions.

Michelle focuses on helping clients build insight, learn practical skills, and develop coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship difficulties, and other life changes. She integrates evidence-based approaches to support clients through complex issues such as caregiver stress, codependency, impulsivity, and issues related to identity and life purpose.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Michelle draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their values and goals; this approach supports people facing life transitions, grief, and relationship challenges. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors, which can be especially helpful for clients dealing with trauma, addiction, or difficulties with emotional regulation.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Michelle works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and adapts methods over time so therapy fits each person’s situation and progress.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes and to access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward recovery and improved wellbeing.
