Michelle Bronster

Michelle Bronster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She brings a decade of practice to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and the day-to-day strains of caregiving and life changes.

She favors an adaptive, client-centered style. That means she listens first, then uses techniques that match what each person needs. Michelle often combines grounding, mindfulness, and skills-based strategies to help with emotion regulation and coping in the moment.

Her background includes extensive work in jail-based settings where she ran Dialectical Behavior Therapy influenced groups and individual sessions. She also has experience supporting people facing grief, trauma, chronic illness, intellectual disability, hospice and end-of-life matters, and caregiver stress.

Michelle uses practical tools in sessions, such as relaxation training, role play, motivational interviewing, and cognitive work to address unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. She offers shorter-term, solutions-focused work but can adjust plans when longer support is needed.

Sessions may include mindfulness and grounding exercises when requested. People who want a straightforward, compassionate clinician who values listening and practical skills often find this approach helpful.

Approaches that inform online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on safety in relationships and explores how past bonds affect current feelings and behavior; it can help with attachment issues, relationship distress, and grief. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance so the client guides what they want to work on; it supports people who need a nonjudgmental space to process stress, identity, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, comfort, and daily routine. Plans can combine approaches, and they evolve as needs change.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online counseling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, require less travel, and offer flexible timing for brief check-ins or longer work. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, reduce commute time, and choose whether to focus on skills practice, talk therapy, or guided exercises during a session.
