About Michelle
Michelle Serda is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She welcomes people who feel overwhelmed and wants to help them find steady footing again. Her style is warm and practical, and she aims to build trust early so clients can talk openly about what matters most.
Michelle has worked across community settings and independent practice in Florida. She has supported people through depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, career shifts, and major life changes.
How Michelle works
Her background includes helping with perinatal and postpartum concerns and other womens health issues, drawn from years of focused clinical work. Clients can expect a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Michelle adapts what she offers to each person's history, strengths, and goals.
That might look like short-term strategies to manage stress or longer work on patterns that affect relationships and mood. She pays attention to practical steps people can use between sessions. This might include communication tools, coping techniques for anxiety, or ways to approach difficult conversations.
Michelle emphasizes collaboration so goals are clear and progress is measurable. Therapy can cover blended family concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career direction, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people navigating ADHD, parenting strain, pregnancy and childbirth, and midlife questions.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online in several formats to fit daily life.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral work, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Another frequently used method is solution-focused work, which zeroes in on specific goals and small steps that lead to visible progress in everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. She treats the selection of techniques as a collaboration and adjusts methods if something isnt working.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let clients have a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other commitments while maintaining steady progress.
