Michell Fuentes, LCSW

Michell Fuentes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and related concerns. She works in both English and Spanish and brings 13 years of experience to her practice.

Michell keeps sessions warm and interactive. She treats people with respect and listens without judgment. Meetings focus on practical steps people can try between sessions, and conversations are shaped around each person’s life and goals.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thought patterns and try small behavior changes. Attachment-based ideas help people understand their close relationships and patterns that repeat over time.

Michell also uses client-centered work and motivational interviewing to support a person’s own goals and strengths. Mindfulness practices are introduced when they match what someone wants to try. Together these methods guide clear, doable plans rather than long lists of theory.

She has supported people dealing with ADHD, addiction, eating and body image issues, intimacy and relationship struggles, career stress, compassion fatigue, and complex family concerns. The focus is on helping each person find manageable ways to feel steadier and more in control.

To get started clients complete a short intake and schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. In online sessions this can look like talking through relationship patterns and trying new ways of relating during everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Online CBT often uses short, goal-focused conversations and simple exercises to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.

Session logistics were not detailed in the biography, so confirm the available formats before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit a meeting into a work break, avoid travel time, or keep sessions shorter when needed. Online meetings also make it possible to continue therapy when life circumstances change, letting people focus on steady progress and practical coping skills.
