Rae Ann Michalko
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
About Rae
I’m a licensed therapist practicing across Kentucky, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Michigan, and Ohio. With extensive clinical experience, I work with clients across the lifespan, specializing in depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns.
I support individuals navigating life transitions, midlife changes, aging, and grief. I’m particularly skilled in addressing social anxiety, communication difficulties, isolation, and loneliness. I also work with women’s issues, postpartum depression, fertility concerns, and caregiver stress.
My approach is grounded in helping clients cultivate self-love, explore life purpose, and develop forgiveness—both toward themselves and others. I’m experienced in supporting young adults and older adults, and I bring cultural sensitivity to my work with clients from diverse backgrounds.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey. My role is to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and help you build the tools and insights needed for meaningful change. Whether you’re facing workplace stress, relationship concerns, or simply seeking greater clarity and connection in your life, I’m here to support your growth.
