Michelle Serda greets those who are taking the important step of seeking therapy and offers a calm, professional approach to help people navigate life’s challenges. She is a Florida licensed clinical social worker - a licensed clinical social worker in Florida, license number SW5220 - and brings 15 years of clinical experience to both individual and couples work.
Her career has included roles in the VA medical system, community settings, and private practice, which has provided a broad foundation for addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, career transitions, and other life adjustments. Michelle enjoys helping clients manage the moods and stresses that often accompany relationship changes, employment shifts, and family transitions.
She has spent considerable time focusing on the needs of women during the perinatal and postpartum periods. As a therapist and a parent of three, Michelle understands the rewards and strains of the journey to parenthood, supporting families through special needs, parenting challenges, and the adolescent years.
Michelle uses a client-centered, eclectic approach so therapy is tailored to each person’s history, beliefs, strengths, and goals. Her interventions may include solution-focused techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other integrative methods chosen collaboratively with the client. She aims to develop practical strategies that support a more fulfilling life, and she encourages prospective clients to seek a therapeutic fit that feels right for them.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, research indicates that online therapy is comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is convenience. Clients can connect with their therapist in the format that best suits their needs - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful.
