About Michelle
Michelle Cohen Negri is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after major life changes, and with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and self-esteem challenges.
Her background as a former professional athlete informs a practical, disciplined approach. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, spotting what gets in the way, and developing small, manageable steps forward. She uses straightforward tools to help clients handle distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Michelle describes her style as collaborative and strengths-based. She blends Solution-Focused methods, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Dialectical Behavior ideas, and mindfulness practices to build emotional regulation and problem-solving skills. Conversations aim to connect what matters to concrete actions rather than abstract talk.
People who come to her for help with grief, trauma, caregiving stress, or questions about life purpose will find an emphasis on skills that can be practiced between sessions. She also addresses attachment concerns, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and mood disturbances.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Florida. Michelle asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Her work aims to help people find direction and manageable steps after change. The focus is on practical skills, clearer priorities, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Approaches she uses and what online sessions offer
Michelle integrates evidence-based techniques into sessions. Cognitive Behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused practices concentrate on current strengths and small, practical steps to move toward clearer priorities and immediate goals. Mindfulness-based tools teach brief attention and breathing exercises to manage distress and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as practical results and comfort emerge.
