About Michelle
Michelle Homa is a licensed social worker with 24 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and trauma. Many come for help with panic attacks, mood shifts, and the strain of life changes. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions.
Her work focuses on helping clients understand their patterns and learn practical ways to feel steadier day to day. Conversations often cover communication, attachment, and family of origin issues. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and problems tied to aging.
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape each person’s plan. Sessions include setting small goals, practicing skills, and tracking what helps between meetings. The approach is collaborative - she will talk through options and adapt methods as progress is seen.
Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk through painful memories and current problems. Michelle emphasizes building coping skills for panic, anger, and overwhelming feelings. She also works with concerns related to identity and LGBT experiences.
Over her career she has supported people through divorce, abandonment, dissociation, and forgiveness work. Her Michigan practice draws on many years of direct clinical work and a focus on practical tools. She aims to help people move from surviving to having clearer choices each day.
How evidence-based work fits into online therapy
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral work, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxious reactions and panic. Another often-used approach focuses on skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, teaching short strategies to manage overwhelming feelings and build steadier routines.Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try approaches, review progress, and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s life and needs.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping momentum between in-person commitments. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking to know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to attend regularly, try brief check-ins, or use video when practicing skills that benefit from visual cues.
