About Michelle
Michelle Pellin is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 11 years of clinical experience to people seeking support with stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, ADHD, and a wide range of other life challenges.
Background and approach
She holds two masters degrees - one in Behavioral Medicine and Health Psychology and another in Human Services and Counseling - and has worked in roles that included therapeutic foster parenting and case management advocating for clients with acquired brain injuries and physical challenges.
Her style blends a spiritually minded, holistic outlook with practical therapeutic tools, honoring each person’s strengths while addressing patterns that get in the way of wellbeing. She uses evidence-based methods alongside compassionate, client-centered listening to help people find more balance and peace.
Michelle emphasizes collaboration, respect, and gentle guidance so clients remain in control of their own process as they explore past influences and build new ways of coping. Michelle practices as an LMHC and LPC licensed in Connecticut and Florida and welcomes people who are open to an affirming, nonjudgmental approach to growth and healing.
Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care
Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a framework for understanding inner parts and how they interact, helping people compassionately explore internal conflicts and heal protective or wounded parts that contribute to anxiety, trauma reactions, and relationship difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify values, accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful for stress, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients feel heard and supported as they identify their own solutions and build self-trust.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider goals, preferences, and the particular concerns presented, and then draw on IFS, ACT, and client-centered techniques as appropriate to tailor sessions to the individual's needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats allow clients to engage from different locations and to select the communication method that fits their lifestyle while working with a licensed professional to develop coping skills, process experiences, and pursue meaningful change.
