Michele Stolper, LICSW, LCSW

Michele Stolper is a licensed social worker who helps adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She offers a calm, straightforward style and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Michele emphasizes compassion and steady support during tough life changes.

With 14 years of experience, Michele draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. She helps people learn more about their attachment patterns, cope with caregiver strain, and handle issues like codependency, commitment worries, or separation. She also supports people facing cancer, hospice and end-of-life challenges, fertility struggles, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Sessions are aimed at building resilience and clearer self-understanding. Michele helps clients identify limiting beliefs, practice new ways of relating, and set small goals that lead to change. Conversations are practical and focused on what the person needs next in their life.

She works with clients in Florida and uses plain language to explain options and next steps. Michele aims to create a nonjudgmental space where adults can process grief, repair trust after infidelity, or find direction after a major life transition.

Her work often centers on restoring hope and purpose. Michele supports people through guilt and shame, family conflicts, and the stresses of caregiving. The emphasis is on steady progress, not quick fixes, and on helping each person make choices that fit their values and daily life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Michele uses evidence-based techniques that help people process emotions and make practical changes. One common approach she draws on focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. This method teaches concrete tools for managing worry and boosting mood. Another frequent emphasis is on attachment and relational patterns, which helps people understand how they connect with others and address trust or intimacy issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele collaborates with each person to see which techniques match their goals and personality. She adjusts methods over time based on how someone responds and what they need most in daily life.

If you plan to pursue online work, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from whichever calm, quiet setting they can arrange, which can help keep conversations focused and consistent.
