About Michele
Michele Stolper is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and difficult life changes. She focuses on practical support when relationships feel strained or when grief, caregiving, or health concerns create overwhelm. Michele writes and speaks plainly in sessions, so people can start where they are and take manageable steps forward.
She practices with a compassionate, individualized style. Michele helps people name what feels most urgent, notice unhelpful patterns like codependency or avoidance, and try new ways of coping that fit their daily life. Sessions tend to emphasize clear, realistic goals and small changes that add up over time.
Her background includes 14 years of clinical experience as a LICSW and LCSW working in Florida. That experience includes supporting people through divorce, fertility and family strain, caregiving and hospice situations, and the emotional impact of cancer. She has worked with clients dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Michele uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practice skills in session. She aims to help people strengthen self-understanding, build resilience, and reconnect with values that matter. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.
To begin, she asks people to identify a few clear priorities and then shapes sessions around practical next steps. Michele helps clients work toward clearer boundaries, steadier mood management, and better day-to-day coping so they can move forward from a place of greater control and choice.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Michele uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people with common concerns like anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small behavioral changes to build more effective habits; this helps with coping, codependency patterns, and moving through life transitions. Another approach centers on strengthening emotional awareness and attachment-related dynamics so people can better understand patterns in relationships and choose different responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele treats the choice of method as collaborative. She will listen to your goals and preferences, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps you make steady progress.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions into a busy life and maintaining continuity during transitions. Because the original profile does not specify which session formats are used, confirm current options before booking. Michele aims to make therapy usable for day-to-day schedules, with sessions organized to match your availability and to support consistent progress.
