Michelle Juhasz, LICSW, LCSW

Michelle Juhasz is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She holds an MA LICSW and is licensed to practice in New Jersey as an LCSW. Michelle speaks English and approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

She builds a plan around what a person actually needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on practical conversation and skills you can use between meetings. Michelle aims to make steps feel possible, not overwhelming, and to support people who are trying to change how they cope and feel.

Her background includes direct clinical work across a range of mood-related concerns, including depression, panic, and social anxiety. She also works with issues related to pregnancy and childbirth, isolation, life purpose, and self-love. Caregiver stress and the challenges of supporting others are part of her additional focus areas.

Michelle tailors dialogue and plans to each person’s goals. That might mean short-term strategies to manage panic or longer work to rebuild self-esteem. She emphasizes clear, compassionate conversation and practical tools that can fit into daily life.

Choosing to start therapy takes courage, and she frames her role as one of support and empowerment. To begin, prospective clients can use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and panic, teaching short-term strategies to reduce overwhelming physical and emotional reactions. Another approach centers on mood and self-esteem work, helping people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavioral changes that build confidence and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue work during pregnancy, caregiving periods, or times when leaving home is difficult. Licensed professionals help adapt techniques for remote sessions so practical tools can be used between meetings.
