More about Michael

  • 11 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPCC

As a therapist I work to show up in an authentic, honest way. I firmly believe that anything is possible, given you are ready for change and willing to do the work to create it. My intention is to meet you where you are at and help you move towards your goals. If progress is being made, we build on it. If you are struggling to move forward we look at this together. I'm an active therapist, typically making specific suggestions as to work you can be doing outside of therapy sessions.

I'm 55 years old and have personally been through many, if not most, of the challenges I find myself supporting clients through. I've been working as a therapist for @ 11 years, both with teens and adults. I've also been in recovery from addiction for those same 11 years. Modalities I utilize depend in large part on what you need, and I'm happy to share these with you as we begin working together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
