About Michael
Michael Malone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 16 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next. He speaks plainly and works without judgment to help clients take practical steps forward.
Michael uses a present-focused style that looks at current problems first. He will explore past events only when that helps explain how the present works.
How Michael works
Sessions aim to set realistic goals and build skills that people can use right away. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. He also helps with parenting questions, communication problems, blended family challenges, fertility and adoption decisions, and career or mood disorder concerns.
Michael incorporates Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy into his practice. That means conversations often center on values, present awareness, and practical steps to solve specific problems. He meets each person where they are and tailors the approach to the situation.
People can expect straightforward, collaborative sessions that emphasize small, achievable changes. Michael aims to help clients manage immediate stressors and develop tools for future challenges. He encourages anyone curious about counseling to reach out and learn what a therapeutic partnership could feel like.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Existential Therapy focuses on values, meaning, and choice. It helps people clarify what matters to them and make decisions that fit their life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity to stress and anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on concrete, short-term goals and practical steps that move someone toward the changes they want to see.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify priorities, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Goals, preferences, and daily life needs shape which methods are emphasized in sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or situations with limited bandwidth. Live chat and texting work well for short updates, coping strategies between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
