About Michelle
Michelle Wildy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Clinical in Maryland with 33 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes.

Conversations move between understanding past influences and planning small, achievable steps forward.
Her clinical work pays attention to cultural and workplace factors that shape stress and identity.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Evidence-based methods she uses include cognitive behavioral approaches that focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. These techniques help with anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around life transitions.Mindfulness-based practices are another thread in her work; they teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. These can be useful for coping with grief, caregiver strain, and day-to-day overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and practical needs. That process may involve trying different methods and adjusting the plan over time so sessions fit what actually helps.
