About Michelle

Michelle St. Raymond is a heart-centered licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana. Raised in the New Orleans and Covington area and having spent time living in San Juan, Puerto Rico, she brings a Southern sensibility combined with exposure to diverse cultures to her work. Her practice focuses on trauma recovery, patterns rooted in family of origin, and supporting relationship growth and change through compassionate, practical interventions.

She integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) alongside mindfulness and natural healing modalities to help individuals and families navigate transitions, express themselves more fully, and manage anxiety. Michelle emphasizes the mind-body connection, encouraging inner body awareness as a companion to traditional therapeutic tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central part of her approach when shifting unhelpful thinking and building new behaviors is needed.

Michelle often works with people coping with aging, job or health changes, family re-creations, and the kinds of stuckness that arise when life is in flux. She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the person seeking help is the leader and the therapist serves as a guide. Together they co-create practical goals rooted in the present moment to support lasting change and forward movement.

Approaches for Change and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current intimacy, communication, and trust, making it useful for relationship struggles and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities, fostering self-awareness and personal growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Michelle collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains responsive and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or mobility limits. These options support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to deliver focused, empathetic treatment in formats that suit different lifestyles and comfort levels.
