Michelle Skoien, LMHC

Michelle Skoien is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience helping people recover from difficult experiences and rebuild balance in their lives. She views resilience as the ability to bounce back and holds a core belief that every person can grow stronger after hardship. Drawing on a long career, she guides clients toward practical skills that support balance across physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual areas, and she creates a welcoming environment where learning and practice are central.

Her clinical work includes helping individuals manage feelings tied to grief and loss, whether those feelings follow trauma or the death of a loved one. She also works with children to develop coping strategies that support success in the classroom. As clients learn and apply these skills, they frequently report increased calmness and greater confidence in handling everyday challenges.

Skoien emphasizes hope as a therapeutic goal and often reflects on the idea that suffering can lead to perseverance, character, and ultimately hope, citing Romans 5:3-4. Her approach is grounded in evidence-informed methods and a commitment to empowering clients to find practical ways to move forward.
