About Michele
Michele Lescard helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She also supports those coping with parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, mood disorders such as bipolar, sleep problems, anger, and major life changes. Michele identifies practical goals and works alongside people as they build coping skills.
Michele uses a warm, down-to-earth style in sessions. She listens without judgment and focuses on what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Conversations move toward clear, doable steps rather than getting stuck on problems. Her approach blends talking therapies with skill-building. Michele draws on client-centered methods to follow the person's lead, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally focused work to address relationship patterns.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of how she helps people notice choices and stay motivated. Michele brings 15 years of experience to her practice and holds a Master of Social Work degree and a Florida LCSW license. That background informs practical strategies for everyday struggles, from coping with chronic illness to navigating separation and communication problems.
She has worked with adults who have autism and intellectual disability, and she supports people concerned about adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, aging issues, body image, and attachment wounds. Michele encourages building a toolbox of skills so people can manage life between sessions.

Online support
How Michele's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered work means the conversation follows the person's priorities. Michele listens first, then helps set goals that fit the client's life and values. This is useful for people unsure where to begin or who want a practical roadmap.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Michele uses short exercises and homework to try different ways of thinking and acting, which helps with anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and anger.
Emotionally focused ideas target patterns in relationships and how emotions shape reactions. This work helps people understand recurring conflicts, improve communication, and feel more connected to themselves and others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then recommend methods to try together. She adjusts the plan as progress and challenges emerge so the work stays relevant.
Online therapy with Michele uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are helpful for detailed conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
