More about Michelle

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

My name is Michelle Bailey. I am a United States Navy Veteran. I have been in the field of mental health for over 15 years. I earned a Doctoral degree in education and a Master’s degree in counseling. I hold a Florida license in mental health MH8624 which has opened doors to assist many clients and their families by imparting knowledge in ways that meet the needs of clients, their families, and the community in which they reside. I specialized in working with adults in the area of mental and emotional issues to include traumatic experiences, substance use, mood disorders/ anxiety, loss and grief issues and adjustment concerns. I believe in the power of cognitive behavioral therapy and a holistic approach learning how to reconnect ourselves to our natural state of well-being while exploring healthier ways of coping with whatever life hands us in the present moment. Sometimes, just experiencing the present moment and being heard we can remove the overwhelming stressful, mental blocks in order to experience our best life possible. I can assist in helping to improve your healthy ability to cope with life stressors. I am truly, dedicated and honored to collaboratively assist in enhancing your life. In my free time I enjoy dancing, traveling, laughing, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
