About Michael
Michael Sanchez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. He speaks English and Spanish. Michael keeps sessions direct and practical so parents can find clear ways to help their family life feel steadier.
Clients can expect a calm, straightforward approach. Michael focuses on short-term goals and concrete steps. He often works on coping skills, mood regulation, communication patterns, and rebuilding self-worth after painful experiences.
How Michael works
His style mixes structured tools with storytelling techniques. That means tracking thoughts and behaviors, then trying new ways of responding. He also helps people rewrite stressful personal narratives so hard events have less hold over daily life.
Sessions tend to be collaborative. Michael will help set specific, measurable goals and check progress from session to session. He balances encouragement with practical exercises people can use between meetings.
With three years of clinical experience, Michael draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide work. He practices in California and offers several online formats to fit busy schedules. The focus is on usable strategies that make a real difference week to week.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood symptoms by giving practical tools to change day-to-day reactions.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. It helps separate a person from a problem so painful events lose the power to define daily choices and self-image.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michael will collaborate with each person to choose whether CBT, Narrative Therapy, or solution-focused techniques best match their goals. He checks in and adjusts methods based on progress and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping steady momentum toward goals.
