About Michele

Michele Rockett is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Hawaii who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

With 16 years of clinical experience, she brings a thoughtful, interactive style that emphasizes respect and trust while helping clients learn practical tools for change. Michele blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s goals.

She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when clients want focused, goal-oriented work. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including family and communication problems, intimacy and commitment issues, career and life transitions, caregiving and chronic illness stress, and emotional responses such as anger, guilt, or shame.

In sessions she aims to create an environment where clients feel heard and challenged in a kind, straightforward way. Michele helps people explore patterns, develop coping strategies, and build skills that support healthier thinking and behavior over time.

How Michele's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Many clients benefit from strategies rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-centered therapy complements that work by prioritizing the client's perspective, using empathy and collaboration to help people feel understood and to guide their own progress. Mindfulness therapy adds tools for staying present and calming intense emotions, which can be especially useful for anxiety, grief, and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Michele works with each person to identify priorities, try techniques, and adjust methods over time so that treatment aligns with the client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions can be delivered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or work while working with a licensed professional in Hawaii.
