About Michelle
Michelle St. Raymond is a licensed clinical social worker with 31 years of experience in Louisiana. She brings a heart-centered approach to therapy and focuses on trauma recovery, relationship growth, and life transitions.
Michelle draws on several evidence-informed methods including Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and shift the feelings that shape their closest connections. She emphasizes clear, practical steps in sessions. Michelle often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
She also incorporates attachment ideas to look at how early relationships affect current behavior and feelings. Michelle pays attention to the body as well as the mind. She uses mindfulness and inner body awareness to help people regulate strong emotions and manage stress.
This can be useful for concerns like anxiety, sleep problems, chronic pain, or compassion fatigue. Parents and caregivers may find support for parenting strain, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. Michelle also works with people coping with grief, addiction, eating and body image concerns, and career or life-change stressors.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person. Michelle will listen for what matters most, then help build concrete tools and small actions to move forward. She frames change as something people lead themselves, with the therapist acting as a guide.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in close relationships. Online sessions using EFT help clients identify core feelings and try new ways of reaching out or responding in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical steps for living with difficult thoughts and feelings while acting on what matters most. ACT online tends to include exercises to notice thoughts and choose committed actions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current behavior and trust. In remote sessions this work often includes reflecting on relationship maps and practicing new responses with support.Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about goals, past efforts, and what feels helpful. Together the client and therapist try approaches, notice what works, and adjust the plan as needed so treatment fits the person’s life and priorities.
Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and keep a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
