About Michelle

Michelle Tiger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings focused, compassionate care to adults facing a range of life challenges. With four years of clinical therapy experience and a background in aging services, hospice, home care, adult day programs, and community re-entry, she combines practical knowledge of healthcare and community systems with a supportive therapeutic style.

Michelle works with individuals on insomnia, work and career transitions, depression, relationships, parenting, health and disability challenges, caregiving stress, and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, intimacy and family issues, and self-esteem or anger concerns. In addition to psychotherapy, she offers coaching for job searching and employment challenges, and has experience assisting people who have been involved with correctional settings.

Her approach is client-centered, compassionate, and supportive. Michelle uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Problem-Solving Therapy, and she is trained in CBT for Insomnia. An advocate for whole-person wellbeing, she encourages small, sustainable changes in movement, nutrition, and routine to support mental health. Michelle is an LGBTQ+ ally who collaborates with each person to identify goals and work toward meaningful, incremental change.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build actions that align with what matters to them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often useful for managing anxiety, life transitions, and long-standing patterns that get in the way of meaningful living.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical strategies for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and stress by teaching skills to change patterns that contribute to distress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports each person's own goals and strengths. This approach is helpful for people seeking compassionate guidance while they explore identity, relationships, and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility needs, and to continue care from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to each client’s life.
