About Michell
Michell Fuentes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and guilt and shame. She speaks English and Spanish and sees people in Florida.
Michell uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of what they are feeling. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and relationships that keep painful feelings going. She draws on practical techniques to reduce worry and to build clearer patterns of thinking and acting.
Her approach mixes client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas. That means sessions often begin with understanding how past relationships and current patterns interact. Then she and the person identify small, manageable steps to change daily routines and responses.
Michell also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support people who want to change habits or face difficult emotions. These methods help people slow down hard reactions and find reasons to try different behaviors. Conversations are meant to be direct but respectful, focused on what matters most to the client.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including ADHD, addiction, body image, grief, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. If you are carrying guilt or shame from relationships, faith, or past choices, she can help you talk through those feelings and plan practical next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Michell commonly uses client-centered therapy to listen carefully and follow what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on the client's priorities and uses reflective conversation to clarify feelings and goals.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going. CBT includes practical exercises and small behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions, which many people find useful when working online.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michell will talk through your history, current concerns, and what feels most helpful, and then recommend methods together. That lets the plan change as needs and goals become clearer.
