About Michelle
Michelle Bronster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical, solution-oriented care. She uses hypnotherapy alongside other approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Michelle works from New York and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions.
She takes an adaptable approach and matches techniques to what a person needs in the moment. That can mean short, focused work or a longer plan that builds skills over time.
Background and approach
Michelle includes grounding and mindfulness exercises when helpful and offers tools for sleep, coping with life changes, and managing compassion fatigue. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and ADHD. Michelle draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior skills to improve emotion regulation.
Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how she builds trust and supports relationships. Michelle has a decade of clinical experience and many years working in settings where she ran DBT-based groups and individual sessions. That background informs how she organizes skills training and role-play for communication practice.
She also has experience with hospice and end-of-life counseling and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging and are organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability.

Online support
Online approaches that focus on skills and safety
Michelle uses hypnotherapy to help people access relaxation and reduce overwhelm, often pairing it with skill-based work to support sleep, stress, and anxiety. Attachment-based therapy is used to look at how past relationships affect current connections and to practice more supported ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so a person feels heard and goals are set together.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed path.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for detailed work and skills practice where seeing facial cues helps. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share brief updates, ask quick questions, or check in between sessions to keep momentum.
