About Michelle
Michelle Woodison-Evans is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker in Michigan with 34 years of clinical experience. She focuses on addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Michelle often helps people facing communication problems, isolation, anxiety, grief, and questions about purpose and identity.
She works with adults across the lifespan, including young adults, on problems such as panic, posttraumatic stress, mood challenges, and attachment patterns. She also supports people through major life changes like divorce, pregnancy, and caregiving stress. Practical topics such as workplace strain and money worries are part of her caseload as well.
Her practice blends structured, skills-oriented methods with exploration of personal history. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and managing distress. She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work and Internal Family Systems when looking at inner parts and self-leadership.
Sessions are described plainly and directly. Michelle listens for patterns people repeat and points out small experiments to try between appointments. She can include guidance informed by a non-denominational Christian perspective when requested.
People who choose her often want concrete tools as well as time to understand where old patterns began. The aim is steady progress through short-term skills and deeper reflective work when needed.
How Michelle integrates evidence-based approaches online
Michelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT sessions focus on clear exercises, thought records, and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and change mood patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, useful for impulsivity and strong mood shifts.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Michelle will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan if a different approach seems more useful. Clients and therapist review what helps and what does not as part of ordinary sessions.
