About Michele
Michele Brownstein is a Connecticut LCSW with 27 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. Michele speaks English and practices in Connecticut.
Michele helps people sort through strong emotions and upsetting situations. She works with individuals facing relationship difficulties, communication problems, and the need to forgive and move on. Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps people can use between meetings.
Her work centers on talking through emotional patterns and improving how people relate to one another. She guides clients to recognize unhelpful habits and to try different, concrete ways of responding. That often includes rehearsing communication and testing small changes in daily life.
Michele draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and anxiety symptoms. She frames treatment as a collaborative process where the client’s goals shape each session. Progress is measured in small, observable changes rather than abstract promises.
People come to her for help managing life transitions, repair after relationship strain, and for tools to handle ongoing stress.

How Michele uses evidence-based techniques in remote sessions
Michele draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps people notice triggers and practice different responses in everyday situations.Another approach centers on improving communication skills. Sessions break down interaction habits and offer step-by-step coaching on clearer, calmer ways to speak and listen. This helps with repairing strained connections and reducing repeated conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will adjust techniques based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what is proving useful in session. Clients are invited to try strategies and report back on what works.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow a quicker check-in during a work break. Talk with her after the matching questionnaire about which format best fits your schedule and needs.
