Michael Capre

Michael Capre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on helping people regain a sense of control. He uses practical conversation to identify values, build insight, and encourage self-care so clients can move past symptoms that feel overwhelming.

He spends sessions listening first, then helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on psychodynamic and existential perspectives to look at deeper life meanings and relational patterns. Sessions aim to be direct and understandable, with clear steps a person can try between meetings.

Michael has nine years of clinical experience in outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings. That background means he has worked with adults, adolescents, and children on depression, anxiety, trauma-related problems, disruptive or impulse issues, substance concerns, and personality-related difficulties. Currently he focuses on adolescents and adults with depressive, anxiety, or personality symptoms.

People bring many concerns to his work, including stress, anger, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, career crossroads, and questions about life purpose. He also helps with more specific patterns such as attachment challenges, codependency, control or commitment issues, and narcissism-related concerns.

His style is straightforward and collaborative. He invites clients to notice what matters to them, try small behavior changes, and reflect on how old patterns keep showing up. Michael describes therapy as a process of reclaiming choice and building habits that support a more stable life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Michael blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic ideas to help people who feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are, helping build trust and clarity about what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and relationships from a longer view, helping people understand why certain responses keep coming up.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. He will work with each person to figure out which mix of methods fits their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Early sessions often test what feels useful and then adjust the plan as needed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, school, or family responsibilities. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or phone-based conversations when video would be difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, thought records, and reflective work for remote sessions so people can make steady progress without rearranging their whole day.
