Michele Rockett, LCSW

Michele Rockett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Hawaii with 16 years of experience providing therapy and psychoeducation. As an LCSW she holds an advanced license in clinical social work, trained to assess, diagnose, and provide therapeutic interventions for a wide range of concerns.

Michele has worked with individuals facing stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, career challenges, self-esteem and confidence issues, major life transitions, physical trauma, and emotional abuse. She has also worked extensively with service members and their families and has familiarity with military culture and its particular stressors.

Her approach is warm and interactive, grounded in mutual respect and the development of trust to support learning new tools, strategies, and ways of thinking that aim to improve daily functioning and support future goals. She integrates evidence-informed methods, drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered and humanistic principles, psychodynamic perspectives, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Some clients have reported feeling heard and understood, while others have appreciated a fair, honest, challenging yet kind therapeutic stance. A number of clients who began therapy skeptical of the process have shared that their experience shifted their expectations about how therapy can help. Michele provides pragmatic, compassionate support designed to help people move through change and build skills for coping and growth.
