About Michell
Michell Fuentes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, low self-esteem, career changes, depression, and compassion fatigue.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways to respond. Sessions tend to be interactive and goal-oriented, with tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices when helpful.
Michell describes her work as respectful and nonjudgmental. She centers each session on the person's immediate needs and goals rather than labels. Progress is tracked through small, concrete steps and repeated practice of new skills.
Her background as an LCSW informs a blend of approaches. She also integrates attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns, and she uses motivational interviewing techniques to support change when people feel stuck. Solution-focused conversation helps when a quick plan is needed.
Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish. Michell works from Florida and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches guide online work
Many of her sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is practical and aimed at problems like anxiety, depression, and stress by using short exercises and assignments between sessions.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that come from early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. That approach helps when relationship, intimacy, or family dynamics are a core concern. Client-Centered Therapy informs her style by keeping the conversation focused on the person's perspective and goals rather than on labels.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she will adjust plans as progress is observed. This is a joint process driven by needs, goals, and personal preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use sessions while traveling or during a lunch break, and it makes regular practice of CBT exercises easier to schedule alongside everyday life.
