How Michael works
Sessions are warm, interactive, and geared toward concrete change rather than long talks without direction. His background blends cognitive behavioral ideas with brief solution-focused work and humanistic perspectives. That mix lets him tailor sessions to what each person needs - from coping with trauma and addiction to improving communication and self-esteem.
He describes therapy as a collaborative effort where clients set goals and test small changes between sessions. Dr. Mitchell has three years of clinical experience and holds a Georgia LMFT license.
He has helped people with anger, parenting stress, workplace issues, compassion fatigue, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic internet use. He also works with concerns around HIV/AIDS and multicultural issues. Practical tools are a big part of his approach.
Clients may practice cognitive-behavioral exercises, mindfulness techniques, and focused problem-solving during sessions. The emphasis is on useful strategies that fit daily life and help restore a sense of control and hope.

Approaches that translate to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems by teaching clear exercises and coping skills.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and small steps toward them. It helps people spot what works, set concrete objectives, and try brief experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping.
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and values when people feel lost or stuck. It can help with grief, life transitions, and questions about purpose by encouraging honest reflection and decisions aligned with one’s priorities.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and needs and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as you test approaches and see what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can fit around a busy day or reduce bandwidth needs, and chat or text lets people check in quickly or write through difficult thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite travel, work, or scheduling limits.
