Michelle Homa, LMSW

Michelle Homa is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience helping people through big emotional challenges. She works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, bipolar mood concerns, and the stress that comes with major life changes. Michelle also supports people dealing with anger, family conflict, LGBT issues, and feelings tied to abandonment or attachment struggles.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then helps you map practical steps that fit your life. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about feelings, patterns, and everyday habits that get in the way of feeling better.

Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build self-understanding and coping skills. Over time she focuses on improving communication, managing intense emotions, and developing routines that reduce anxiety and mood swings. She also works with people facing chronic health problems or caregiver stress to find manageable ways forward.

She practices in Michigan and works in English. International clients are accepted. Michelle emphasizes pacing the work to each person's needs and goals, and she aims to create space for healing without pressure.

If you are facing life transitions, persistent low mood, or difficulty trusting others, Michelle can help you name what matters and try new ways of coping. Her approach centers on practical tools, steady support, and helping people regain a sense of control over daily life.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns and build new habits. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another concentrates on emotion regulation and practical strategies for managing intense feelings, which can be useful for anger, bipolar mood swings, and trauma-related distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, symptoms, and daily routine. She adjusts pacing and methods as people try things and give feedback so the work stays useful and manageable.

If you are considering online therapy with Michelle, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also help people maintain continuity of care across locations. Discuss scheduling, session length, and any practical needs during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
