Michelle Walsh is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Jersey with 11 years of experience in mental health care. She brings a grounded, professional approach to therapy while maintaining an accessible and supportive manner.
She earned a bachelor of arts in social work from Rutgers University in 2008 and completed an advanced standing master of social work program at Fordham University in 2009, where she specialized in substance abuse. Her work history spans private practice, outpatient mental health clinics, and a role in a homeless shelter, and she has experience supporting veterans and their family members.
Michelle provides both group and individual therapy and has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use concerns, and relationship difficulties, among other challenges. Her clinical focus also includes areas such as stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, LGBT issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting concerns, anger management, career challenges, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
She has a particular interest in holistic approaches and incorporates practices like meditation into care; she is also a certified Reiki Master. Michelle emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and connection, and she aims to listen, support, and help clients identify practical tools and resources they can use outside of sessions.
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and clinical practice have shown that talk therapy delivered remotely often produces comparable outcomes for these issues.
One major advantage of online therapy is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that works best for them - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they would prefer a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical way to access experienced therapists while maintaining the kinds of therapeutic relationships and methods that support recovery and growth.
