Michelle Cohen Negri, LCSW

Michelle Cohen Negri is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports parents and caregivers handling the strain of caregiving and concerns about self-esteem and body image. Her direct style makes sessions feel focused and practical from the first meeting.

Michelle draws on lessons from a past career as a professional athlete to help clients build resilience and steady routines. She uses straightforward skills to manage distress and improve emotional regulation. Sessions look at what is working now and what small, realistic changes could make daily life easier.

In therapy she blends evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices. Those approaches are applied in concrete ways to reduce anxiety, process trauma, and address relationship or intimacy struggles. She emphasizes measurable steps rather than abstract promises.

Many people meet with her to address caregiving stress, attachment concerns, communication problems, or recovery after separation. Michelle offers a calm and encouraging presence while helping people find practical tools for coping and decision making.

Her work is collaborative and strengths-focused. Together with each client she maps out goals and creates a plan that fits real life. To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Michelle commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches that focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. These techniques teach practical skills like challenging negative thoughts and building new routines.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice stress and regulate emotions. Mindfulness exercises are simple to practice in brief daily moments and can reduce reactivity to upsetting thoughts or memories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to match techniques to their goals, needs, and pace. Together they review what helps and adjust methods over time so the plan fits real life.

Online therapy can make it easier to keep appointments, fit sessions into a busy day, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practice of skills in the context of everyday routines, which can make new habits stick better.
