Michelle Consavage , LMSW

Michelle Consavage is a licensed clinical therapist based in Michigan with 24 years of professional experience helping people navigate life transitions and emotional challenges. She holds an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - and draws on that clinical training to support clients dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, anger, low self esteem, grief, parenting concerns, career issues, and ADHD as well as related difficulties such as abandonment, attachment struggles, chronic illness, codependency, and communication problems.

Her approach blends traditional therapeutic techniques with a nontraditional holistic and spiritual mindfulness orientation, attending to the interconnected nature of mind, body, and spirit. Michelle emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs and goals. She works collaboratively with clients to identify practical coping strategies, build insight, and foster personal growth.

Michelle acknowledges that seeking change takes courage and offers steady support throughout the process. Her work aims to help clients find more fulfilling, balanced lives by integrating evidence-informed methods with mindfulness and holistic perspectives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michelle Consavage integrates client-centered work and mindfulness with cognitive behavioral techniques to support online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the client’s experiences and goals guide the work - it helps when someone wants to explore values, relationships, and self-understanding. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with chronic pain or emotional reactivity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is effective for depression, anxiety, and problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle will collaborate with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration may blend techniques so care matches the person rather than a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to access support from home, work, or while traveling. For many people this flexibility makes it easier to maintain regular sessions and to integrate therapeutic work into daily life, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
