About Michelle

Michelle Skoien is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 25 years of experience helping people build resilience after difficult experiences. She approaches therapy with a belief that resilience - the ability to rebound from hardship - exists in everyone, and her work centers on teaching practical skills that support balance across physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual areas of life. She creates a welcoming environment where learning and practicing new strategies is central to the healing process.

Over the course of her career she has supported individuals facing grief and loss, whether related to trauma or the death of a loved one, and she teaches coping skills that help children manage challenges in the classroom. Clients who practice the tools learned in sessions can expect to develop greater calm and increased confidence in daily life. Her clinical focus also includes stress, anxiety, depression, parenting issues, ADHD, and finding life purpose.

Her practice is informed by a hope-centered perspective, rooted in the idea expressed in Romans 5:3-4 that perseverance and character can lead to hope. Through skills-based work and compassionate support, she aims to help people regain balance and move forward with renewed confidence.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience and strengths. In this approach the therapist listens deeply and helps clients find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, exploring life purpose, and working through guilt or shame.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and learning practical skills to change them. CBT is frequently used for anxiety, stress, depression, and coping with life changes because it offers concrete tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that support emotional regulation and calm. It can be useful alongside other approaches to reduce reactivity and increase resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle Skoien collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and receive consistent support from a licensed professional regardless of local constraints.
