About Michelle
Michelle (Sheli) Miller is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California. She brings 18 years of clinical experience and a direct, compassionate style to sessions. She focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem, career questions, and life transitions.
Sheli draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are offered when they fit a person's goals. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach.
Her background includes work in hospitals, domestic violence centers, community agencies, youth organizations, and independent practice. Sheli has supported people from many cultural and religious backgrounds and has experience with LGBTQQIA+ concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and aging-related matters. She also has experience around addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, and sleep difficulties.
Sessions emphasize practical skills and real-life steps. Sheli aims to help people identify strengths they can use right away. She also helps clients build better communication, cope with grief or loss, and manage mood and stress.
If someone is exploring therapy for parenting strain, relationship concerns, career shifts, or self esteem struggles, Sheli works to create clear, doable plans. She invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and to begin with a short matching process before scheduling.
