Michelle Singleton , LCSW, CSW

Michelle Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey who works with adults age 18 and older. With nine years of clinical experience, she supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, anger, career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her practice also addresses aging and geriatric issues, attachment and caregiver stress, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic pain and illness, commitment concerns, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, perinatal mood concerns, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, and young adult issues.

Michelle blends acceptance and commitment principles, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She offers a supportive, encouraging, hopeful, and occasionally humorous approach to help people navigate life’s challenges and build practical coping skills. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials, professional licenses in clinical social work that authorize her to provide therapeutic services.

Her interest in mental health began early in college and led to a career focused on connecting people with community resources and practical supports. Outside of work she values continuing education, enjoys beach and camping trips, spends time with pets, and prioritizes family and friends.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michelle integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on helping people clarify their values and take actionable steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical, skills-based method that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and build new coping strategies for depression, anxiety, and problem-solving in daily life. Mindfulness Therapy is woven into her work to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support stress management, emotional regulation, and resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques from these approaches to fit the individual. That collaborative process helps determine what methods feel most effective and sustainable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to receive consistent support around work and family schedules, manage care from home, and continue therapy during life transitions while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to each person’s circumstances.
