Michelle Juhasz, LICSW, LCSW

Michelle Juhasz is a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of professional experience supporting adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She brings practical, evidence-informed strategies to work with depression, motivation and confidence concerns, and caregiver stress, shaping each session to address the priorities a person brings to therapy.

Licensed in California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, Michelle holds the credentials LICSW and LCSW, which indicate her qualification as a licensed clinical social worker and, in some jurisdictions, as an independently practicing clinician. She approaches care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, listening closely to understand each person’s unique circumstances before tailoring a collaborative treatment plan.

Michelle frames therapy as a process of empowerment and change, acknowledging that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage. She focuses on practical tools and supportive dialogue to help people move toward their goals, whether that means reducing anxiety and panic, healing from trauma, improving parenting skills, or building self-love and purpose. Her work emphasizes individualized care aligned with each person’s needs and preferences.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Remotely

Michelle uses evidence-based techniques tailored to the concerns a person brings to therapy. Trauma-informed care involves recognizing the impact of traumatic experiences, creating a steady pace in sessions, and using strategies that help people process distress while building resilience. Skills-based approaches for anxiety and stress focus on practical tools such as breathing and coping strategies, cognitive reframing, and behavioral experiments to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Supportive, strengths-focused therapy emphasizes the client’s resources and values, helping to rebuild confidence, clarify life purpose, and navigate parenting or caregiver stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That partnership makes it easier to find a fit that addresses symptoms and supports longer-term growth.

Online appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different communication preferences. These options make therapy more accessible for people balancing work, family, and caregiving responsibilities while maintaining continuity of care across locations within applicable licensure limits.
