Michelle Singleton, LCSW, CSW

Michelle Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults 18 and older. She brings nine years of clinical experience and focuses on anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes. Michelle aims to make sessions supportive and encouraging, often using warmth and a bit of humor to ease difficult conversations.

She helps people sort through relationship and parenting concerns, career stress, and challenges like ADHD or trauma. Michelle also pays attention to caregiver strain and aging and geriatric issues as areas of focus. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, centering on what clients need right now.

Michelle draws on several therapeutic methods in her work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills often show up for emotion regulation and staying present.

Her path into mental health began during college and continued as an adult student committed to community resources. Outside of work she enjoys beach and camping trips, spending time with family and friends, and caring for pets. She values ongoing learning and brings that curiosity into sessions.

Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical tools to manage day-to-day problems. Michelle frames therapy as a place to build resilience and notice change over time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, life transitions, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for depression, anxiety, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and notice patterns over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan over time, mixing tools from different approaches when that fits the client's needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access therapists while living in different parts of New Jersey. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness practices for remote sessions, using exercises, worksheets, and skill-building between meetings to keep progress moving.
