Michelle Coffey, LCSW

Michelle Coffey is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Florida with seven years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, and other life changes. She also addresses family of origin issues and attachment concerns when those past patterns affect current life. Michelle uses practical, goal-focused conversations to help people sort priorities and take next steps.

She follows a person-centered approach, which means sessions focus on the client’s perspective and goals. Michelle combines that perspective with problem-solving tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and interactive. People can expect to talk through current problems, try small experiments between meetings, and learn skills to manage intense feelings. Michelle also uses motivational interviewing to clarify readiness for change when people face substance use or other habit challenges.

Her background includes work with clients who have experienced trauma, chronic medical issues, grief, and complex stressors. That experience informs how she helps people balance emotion management with practical problem solving. She pays attention to how family roles and early dynamics continue to shape relationships and choices today.

Michelle aims to help people break old patterns, improve communication, and build routines that support better sleep, mood, and daily functioning. She invites straightforward discussion about goals and barriers and helps translate those conversations into manageable steps.
