About Michael
He focuses on clear conversation and steady support. Sessions aim to give a place to sort through difficult feelings and make small, realistic changes. Michael encourages honesty about fears and setbacks and helps clients find ways to build confidence and motivation.
His approach blends several methods including attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, and strategies from dialectical behavior therapy. That mix lets him tailor the work to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.
Michael has nine years of clinical experience as an LCSW. He draws on that experience when helping people navigate grief, trauma, intimacy issues, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and complex family histories. He pays attention to patterns such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and control issues.
People who choose him can expect straightforward guidance, practical skills to try between sessions, and ongoing check-ins on progress. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions are offered in English and are provided by a Texas licensed clinician.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps people notice repeated relationship habits, feel their emotions about them, and try new ways of relating that reduce conflict and loneliness.Client-Centered Therapy centers on active listening and acceptance from the therapist. This approach gives people room to talk through worries, clarify goals, and build self-direction at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and develop new habits that reduce anxiety and depression.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and will adapt techniques as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people find that online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep consistent appointments. Others prefer an in-person rhythm for deeper work; the therapist can discuss what will work best for each client when scheduling.
