About Michell
Michell Fuentes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports concerns like ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, body image, self-esteem, and career stress. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and draw on thirteen years of clinical experience in Florida.
Her style is warm and interactive. She listens closely and treats people with respect and compassion. Conversations are practical and focused on what matters to the client right now.
Background and approach
Expect a calm, straightforward tone rather than jargon-filled explanations. Michell blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow the client's lead, cognitive tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and attachment ideas to repair relationship patterns.
Mindfulness and motivational techniques are added when useful to build awareness and motivation. Therapy is customized around specific goals like improving communication, managing anxiety, coping with loss, or changing habits. Sessions can include skill practice, problem-solving, and brief homework to reinforce progress between meetings.
The work is collaborative - the person seeking help and Michell plan the next steps together. Her background includes extensive work with trauma, emotional abuse, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and codependency. Michell draws on thirteen years of practice as an LCSW to help people find clearer direction and more manageable day-to-day coping.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. In online sessions this means talking through patterns that cause distance, practicing new ways of relating, and using exercises to build safer connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts, change behaviors, and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That plan can change over time if needs shift or some techniques feel more useful than others.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or movement is limited, live chat for short check-ins, and text-based messaging for quick support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare, or medical appointments and to use different formats for skills practice or brief coaching.
