About Michelle

Michelle Homa is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with 24 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, and family-related problems including family of origin issues.

She talks through patterns that began in childhood and still affect day-to-day life. Sessions often involve looking at attachment and communication habits that shape relationships. Michelle helps people notice repetitive roles, expectations, and responses that keep problems going.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She encourages clear communication and teaches practical skills for managing emotions, reducing stress, and handling difficult interactions. She addresses issues such as abandonment, control struggles, dependent personality traits, and dissociation in concrete ways.

Michelle also works with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging concerns, and autism-related challenges. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support mood disorders and anxiety, while helping clients work through guilt, shame, and forgiveness questions.

Over two decades in practice gives her a broad clinical background. She combines symptom-focused work with attention to family history and patterns. That approach aims to help people make manageable changes in relationships and daily routines.

Sessions are offered in English and Michelle accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats directly through the service portal.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on measurable change. One approach involves working on communication skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood symptoms. This style is practical and helps with everyday stress, workplace strain, and social anxiety.

Another common approach centers on exploring attachment and early family patterns. That work looks at how roles and expectations from the family of origin influence current relationships and emotional responses. It can help people notice repetitive cycles and try different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing one single path. She reviews progress with clients and adjusts techniques as needed so the work fits real life.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time to appointments.
