About Michelle
Dr. Michelle Bailey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience based in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting-related strain, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, and adjusting to life changes.
Dr. Bailey uses cognitive behavioral approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods. She also draws on existential and solution-focused ideas to help people clarify values and take practical steps. Sessions emphasize straightforward skills for coping, decision making, and emotion regulation.
Her background includes a Doctoral degree in education and a Master’s degree in counseling, plus service as a United States Navy veteran. She holds LMHC licenses in Florida and Washington State. That mix of clinical training and real-world experience informs a direct, skills-based way of working with adults.
In sessions she helps people notice what matters, test new behaviors, and break unhelpful patterns. She uses short-term problem solving when that fits and deeper conversations about meaning when needed. Practical exercises, thought records, and values-based actions are commonly used tools.
Outside of work she enjoys dancing, traveling, laughing, and time with family and friends. Prospective clients who want to begin are asked to use the site’s matching tools to schedule an initial meeting.

Approaches used in remote sessions and what they do
Dr. Bailey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, addictive behaviours, and stress management with concrete exercises and tracking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear, which can help with avoidance, grief, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense given their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That process can include brief solution-focused steps for immediate concerns and deeper ACT or existential conversations for values and meaning.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists in this field adapt tasks and homework to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and apply them to everyday life.
