About Michelle

Michelle King-Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. Michelle also helps people who are questioning life purpose or dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns.

She supports individuals managing panic attacks, mood challenges, and chronic pain or illness. She assists those dealing with caregiving strain, communication problems, and relationship transitions such as divorce and separation. Financial worries, control patterns, impulsivity, and shame or guilt are also part of her caseload.

Michelle often helps people with body image, sexuality, pregnancy and childbirth concerns as they relate to emotional health. She talks through social anxiety, isolation, and workplace stress. Her practice includes attention to dynamics associated with narcissistic relationships and the aftermath of abuse.

Her working style emphasizes collaboration and steady pacing. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on naming patterns that get in the way of feeling more capable. Michelle frames goals together with each person and adjusts those goals as progress or new needs emerge.

People who want to explore life purpose or make changes after major transitions can expect direct, conversational therapy. Michelle encourages clear communication and problem-solving skills alongside processing grief and past hurts. She asks about daily routines, supports small behavior changes, and helps people track what does and does not work.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach she uses helps people identify and change unhelpful behavior patterns by tracking thoughts, feelings, and actions. This can be useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and impulsivity. Another approach emphasizes processing past hurts and attachment wounds through guided conversation and reflection, which many find helpful for trauma, grief, and abandonment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. That conversation guides which methods she brings into sessions, and they adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Confirm the specific session formats Michelle currently offers before you book, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also let people use video or audio-only options depending on comfort and bandwidth. The practical aim is to make sessions manageable so therapy can be part of everyday routines rather than another burden.
