Michelle Wincell OLeary, LICSW

Michelle Wincell OLeary is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - LICSW - practicing in Minnesota with 28 years of clinical and coaching experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, career challenges, self-esteem concerns, and difficult life transitions, and she also provides personal, executive, and professional coaching. As a transformation guide, she focuses on compassion fatigue, wellbeing, consciousness, and spiritual exploration, and she brings practical skills in self-care and meditation to support inner discovery and intentional change.

She cultivates an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and honored. She respects cultural, ethnic, religious, spiritual, and other personal values and beliefs, and she holds space for each person s unique experience and journey. Her approach is client-centered and mindfulness-informed, aimed at helping people access their own wisdom and motivation for change.

Because she lives in and is from Minnesota, she pays particular attention to the local context and the impacts that recent events have had on individuals and communities across the state. She has experience working with people, teams, and communities during crises and emphasizes resilience qualities such as empowerment, adaptability, and compassion in that work.

Beginning therapy is a courageous step, and Michelle follows each person s lead while offering guidance, coaching, and therapeutic support. She seeks to provide a supportive space where people can learn, grow, and transform their lives right where they are, and she invites prospective clients to begin that path of discovery together.
