About Michael
Michael Kutosi is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Michael emphasizes each person's strengths and treats reaching out for help as a brave step toward a better life.
He draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to help clients build coping skills and improve motivation. Sessions focus on real-world strategies people can use between meetings.
How Michael works
Michael adapts his approach to fit what works best for each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. People come for short-term goals like managing anxiety or for longer work on self-worth and forgiveness. He uses structured exercises, guided conversations, and goal-setting to break problems into manageable steps.
The work often includes looking at thought patterns, clarifying values, and strengthening everyday habits. Michael’s background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston and a Master in Theology from Notre Dame Seminary. He holds a Texas LCSW and has a decade of experience in clinical practice.
That mix informs a practical, respectful style that balances skills training with personal reflection. Therapy with Michael is collaborative and focused on what the individual wants to change. He helps people set clear goals, track progress, and make sustainable changes that fit their lives.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Michael uses several evidence-based techniques that translate well to remote care. Cognitive behavioral work helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses; it’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Motivational interviewing focuses on building a person’s own motivation to change by exploring values and resolving mixed feelings; it’s often helpful for addictions and when someone feels stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on how a person responds. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which methods fit goals and daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, between-session coaching, and people who prefer writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
