About Michael

How Michael works
That can mean practicing new ways to handle conflict, building routines to lift motivation, or finding kinder ways to talk to oneself. Michael has six years of clinical experience and holds the LMHC credential, licensed in Florida and Washington. He draws from client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's needs and pace.
This approach gives space for people to lead the conversation while the therapist offers support and guidance. He also works with a wide range of concerns linked to relationships and life transitions. These include attachment and abandonment worries, blended family challenges, communication problems, divorce and separation, and fatherhood issues.
He addresses emotional themes such as guilt, shame, emptiness, forgiveness, and codependency. Michael supports people coping with chronic pain, illness, disability, caregiver stress, and body image struggles. He uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies so clients can try changes between sessions and notice progress over time.

Online support options
Client-centered care through online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and respect. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting what is shared and helping the person find their own answers. This approach works well for concerns like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and coping with life changes because it centers the client's experience and values.In sessions that address stress and anxiety, the therapist helps clients notice patterns and try small, practical changes. For relationship and attachment issues, conversations aim to improve communication and understanding of needs. These descriptions are starting points; the exact focus will depend on each person's situation and goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses options with the client and adjusts methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening, skills practice, or problem-solving in session.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
