Getting to know Michelle Coral
I am a NJ-licensed clinical social worker and licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor who provides compassionate, virtual therapy for adults, adolescents, and families. With over 10 years of experience, I support clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, grief, trauma, emotional challenges, and substance use or co-occurring concerns.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process where you can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My approach integrates evidence-based strategies, including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based therapy, to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical tools that you can use in everyday life.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University and provide therapy in both English and Spanish. Whether you are navigating a difficult transition, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, processing a loss, or working toward meaningful change, I will meet you where you are and support you at a pace that feels manageable. My goal is to help you gain greater clarity, recognize your strengths, and feel more confident moving forward.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership. You know yourself and your experiences best, and my role is to help you better understand what you're going through, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical ways to move forward.
With over 10 years of experience supporting women, children, and families, I bring a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach to each session. I want you to feel comfortable being honest about what you're experiencing, even when things feel difficult or overwhelming.
Together, we'll build on your strengths, explore new perspectives, and develop tools that fit your life—not a one-size-fits-all approach. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin wherever you are.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our work together will begin with getting to know each other, understanding what brings you to therapy, and identifying what you hope to gain from the process. From there, we’ll work collaboratively to explore challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that fit your needs and goals. I’ll meet you where you are and support you at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
