About Michelle
Michelle Tiger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who names relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, parenting stress, and addiction among her focus areas. She presents a straightforward, down-to-earth style and invites people to set clear goals for therapy. Michelle emphasizes practical steps and gentle encouragement while helping clients tackle everyday problems.
She brings four years of formal therapy experience and earlier work across aging services, hospice, home care, and community re-entry. That varied background informs how she supports people facing health, caregiving, or life transition stresses. She also offers job-search coaching and helps clients think through career and work-related challenges.
In sessions Michelle and the client look at unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that keep life feeling stuck. She uses evidence-based tools to build new habits and to ease sleep problems such as insomnia. She describes her stance as compassionate, nonjudgmental, and client-centered.
Michelle works with topics that include grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses listed are attachment and abandonment issues, blended family concerns, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and other complex life problems.
She is an LGBTQ+ ally and encourages movement, exercise, and nutrition as part of whole-person wellbeing. Michelle highlights incremental change - small steps that add up over time - and aims to collaborate on practical plans that fit each person’s life.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps forward. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. CBT is commonly used for depression, anxiety, insomnia, and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaboration shapes whether ACT, CBT, or a client-centered, mindfulness-informed style is the best fit for the person’s needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making it easier to attend when mobility or caregiving demands are high. Online work can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to use written or screen-shared tools during sessions. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, will work with clients to tailor the approach and schedule to everyday routines.
