About Michelle
Michelle Serda is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She provides individual and couples therapy and focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting stress, and blended family issues.
She has worked in a variety of settings including the VA medical system, community programs, and private practice. That background means she has supported people through career transitions, grief, and shifts in family life. Her profile notes specific experience with perinatal and postpartum concerns and with women navigating those changes.
In sessions she keeps things practical. She talks through moods, anxiety, and the real-life pressures that arrive during relationship change, new jobs, and family adjustments. Expect a mix of conversational problem solving and skills work aimed at specific goals.
Her stated approach is client-centered and eclectic. That means she adapts methods to each person’s history, beliefs, and strengths. She may draw on solution-focused ideas, cognitive-behavioral techniques, or other integrative methods to address symptoms and daily challenges.
Michelle also mentions parenting challenges and the stresses of raising children at different stages. While she emphasizes work with women around pregnancy and postpartum issues, she also supports people wrestling with communication problems, divorce and separation, and the practical strains of blended households.
She asks prospective clients to take time choosing a therapist and to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. Sessions are arranged through the site’s online workflow and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Michelle describes using evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral methods and solution-focused strategies. Cognitive-behavioral methods look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teach concrete skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-focused work emphasizes small, practical steps and goals to change what’s not working day to day.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on symptoms, life demands, and personal preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as needed.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping regular appointments during life transitions. The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to attend brief check-ins, handle a midday appointment, or avoid travel time while working on relationship, parenting, or blended household issues.
