About Michelle
Michelle LeClear-Dozier is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 35 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. Michelle listens with empathy and aims to help clients build practical skills they can use each day.
She uses straightforward strategies to identify what is causing trouble and then works with clients to try different ways to cope. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is one of the main tools she uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and change them.

Michelle has a long history of working on relationship and family problems, parenting concerns, trauma and grief, and struggles with mood such as bipolar disorder. She supports people dealing with addictions, eating issues, social anxiety, panic, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her work emphasizes building strengths and step-by-step problem solving. In sessions she helps people develop coping skills and measurable plans for daily life. Michelle encourages practical exercises between sessions and clear goals for progress.
She aims to help each person find strategies that fit their schedule and values. Clients can expect a caring, open-minded clinician who focuses on collaboration. Michelle combines empathy with active techniques so people learn new ways to handle stress and improve relationships over time.

How Michelle's approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, creating a respectful space where people set the pace and goals. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, understanding, and support while they sort out difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, panic, mood difficulties, anger, and building coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can support short check-ins, and text-based messaging helps when a written check-in feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
