Hello, my name is Michelle (Shelly) McDaniel. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups within mental health and medical settings. My therapy style is collaborative and multifaceted. I use multiple theories to guide my practice however I most often utilize, Solution Focused, CBT, and Narrative Therapy. My goal as a therapist is to instill improved self-confidence in order for you to navigate life’s obstacles.
I strive to provide a safe space for you to express yourself so we can effectively collaborate and work through your challenges together. I intend to empower you to make the best choices for your situation and will consistently provide active, supportive listening and positive feedback.
My hope is to have free-flowing conversations where we get to know one another. I try my best to communicate in a way that makes you feel your views, opinions, and needs are clearly understood. I hope you provide me the opportunity to work beside you and help you in becoming the best version of yourself.
