About Michelle

Michelle Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in New Jersey. She holds the LCSW and CSW credentials and brings nine years of clinical experience. Michelle works with adults 18 and older and focuses on everyday problems that interrupt life and relationships.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She uses humor and steady encouragement to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self esteem, and depression. Sessions center on practical steps people can use between meetings and honest conversation about what’s working and what isn’t.

Michelle draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment practices to build values-based action, and mindfulness to calm an overactive mind. Dialectical behavior ideas and client-centered methods also inform her work.

She helps people facing life transitions, parenting strain, work stress, trauma and abuse, ADHD challenges, and relationship concerns. Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, chronic health issues, postpartum depression, and isolation or loneliness.

Outside of practice she values continued learning, time at the beach, camping, and family life with pets. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then offers concrete tools and steps so people leave sessions with clear next moves.

How her approaches translate to online work

Michelle often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, self esteem, and work-related stress.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus during daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, try methods that fit the person's goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use and how to apply them between sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, allow check-ins during a workday break, or offer a session without needing to be on camera. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life rather than requiring major schedule changes.
