About Machelle

Machelle Pardue is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with three years of professional experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works from the conviction that each person is the expert of their own story and that strengths already present in a person can be important tools in overcoming life’s challenges.

Machelle recognizes that taking the first steps toward change requires courage, and she offers supportive, empowering guidance as clients explore what a more fulfilling and happier life might look like. Her approach centers on collaboration and respect for each client’s pace and goals, drawing on practical strategies and the client’s own resilience to address obstacles and promote well-being.

Whether someone is seeking relief from persistent worry or wants help navigating a period of transition, Machelle aims to create a space where goals are clear, progress is steady, and clients feel supported as they build the skills and confidence needed to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people clarify their values and goals while building self-trust and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools to reduce anxious reactions and manage stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can decrease reactivity and support emotional regulation when stress or worry arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Machelle Pardue works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods as progress evolves so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or travel and allow clients to engage in therapy from settings that feel comfortable. The convenience of multiple communication formats supports continuity of care and makes it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions.
