Collaborative, Functional, and Evidence-Based Consultation
At The Anxiety Break, Michelle Puerner, LCSW, provides individualized professional consultation for clinicians treating anxiety, OCD, tic disorders, and related conditions. Her collaborative, evidence-based approach integrates ERP, ACT, DBT, SPACE, I-CBT, CBIT, and the Family Well-Being model from When a Loved One Won’t Seek Mental Health Treatment.
Consultations help clinicians build functional clarity, strengthen case formulation, and design exposures that promote resilience and independence. Sessions are tailored to each clinician’s goals—whether refining complex cases, integrating family-based approaches, or preparing for clinical supervision within a systems-informed framework.
Who Consultation Serves
Consultation is designed for licensed and pre-licensed clinicians, school-based professionals, and allied providers seeking to deepen their skills in treating anxiety, OCD, and tic disorders, or to better support families when a loved one resists care.
Michelle works with therapists who want to:
Strengthen confidence in functional case formulation and exposure design.
Integrate SPACE, Family Well-Being, and CBIT principles into treatment or parent coaching.
Differentiate between OCD, anxiety, and eating-disorder overlap in complex presentations.
Reduce family accommodation and build caregiver collaboration across home and clinical settings.
Receive thoughtful, systems-informed supervision and professional mentorship.
Consultation supports both new and seasoned clinicians looking to ground their practice in clear behavioral function, compassionate boundaries, and evidence-based strategy.

Supervision for Pre-Licensed Clinicians
Supervision with Michelle is an extension of her consultation model—rooted in functional formulation, values-based intervention, and systemic awareness.
For pre-licensed clinicians (SWLCs, PLCL’s or equivalent), supervision focuses on developing clinical reasoning, confidence, and flexibility across complex cases involving OCD, anxiety, trauma, tic disorders, and family dynamics.
Through a collaborative process, you’ll learn to:
Differentiate between content and function in case conceptualization.
Integrate ERP, ACT, DBT, SPACE, I-CBT, CBIT, and Family Well-Being principles into treatment.
Strengthen communication, documentation, and boundary-setting in clinical work.
Identify your professional style and ethical compass as you grow into full licensure.
