About Michell
Michell Fuentes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida. Her tone is warm and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps and real support.
Michell uses straightforward conversations to understand what matters most to each person. She blends problem-solving tools with compassion. Sessions focus on small changes that add up over time rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
In the room she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she helps clients try new ways of thinking and acting. That work can include setting small goals, practicing new habits, and noticing unhelpful thoughts.
Her background includes 13 years of clinical experience as an LCSW. Over that time she has supported people facing grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, eating issues, body image struggles, and career stress. Michell also works with people managing attachment wounds, adoption or foster care histories, autism spectrum concerns, caregiver stress, and codependency.
Her approach mixes attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. To begin, she helps clients set clear, realistic goals and picks strategies that fit their life. Sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what works for their schedule.
How her approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions use talk and reflective exercises to notice attachment patterns and try new ways of relating, which can help with intimacy, abandonment fears, and relationship problems.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. The therapist provides acceptance and gentle guidance so people can explore choices, build self-esteem, and make decisions that match their values.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michell will work with each person to match goals, preferences, and life demands. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods when something isn't working or when new priorities appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing one another. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
