About Michelle
Michelle Tiger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, sleep problems, and life transitions. Her style is client-centered and compassionate.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can take between meetings. She encourages movement, exercise, and nutrition as part of overall well-being. Michelle draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and solution-focused techniques.
Background and approach
She helps people spot thought patterns that keep them stuck and then practices new responses together in session. Her background includes roles in aging services, hospice, home care, adult day programs, and community re-entry. That experience informs how she supports people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, or changes related to aging.
Michelle also offers coaching around job searching and employment issues and has worked with individuals in correctional settings. She identifies as an LGBTQ+ ally and aims to provide a nonjudgmental space where clients set the pace and goals for therapy.
With four years in direct therapy practice as a therapist and a longer history in related social work roles, Michelle combines practical problem-solving with mindful strategies to help people build manageable habits and clearer routines.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and meaning matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching practical exercises to change reactions and routines.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaborating on goals so clients lead the pace of change. This approach supports building self-trust and steady progress over time.
Michelle treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Adjustments are made along the way so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, quick check-ins suit text or chat, and all options let people fit sessions into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
