About Michael
Michael Creekmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck by depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. He aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so clients can use what they learn right away.
He leans on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations. Sessions often start with short goals and small steps. This helps people see manageable change over weeks rather than waiting for big breakthroughs.
Background and approach
Clients commonly bring worries about isolation, low self-esteem, or a lack of life purpose. Michael also helps address issues tied to abandonment, family of origin dynamics, and problems with communication. He listens for patterns that keep people stuck and then practices different ways to respond.
When addictive behaviors or substance concerns appear, he works to understand what those patterns are doing for the person and how to shift them. Trauma and abuse history are handled with attention to pacing so people feel able to move forward at their own speed. Michael’s style is direct but warm.
He encourages self-compassion while teaching practical skills for emotional regulation and clearer communication. People who want a focused, collaborative plan for change often find this approach useful.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical tools and clear steps. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and stress through moment-to-moment exercises and coping strategies. Another approach used with trauma and addiction emphasizes paced processing and building safer, more stable routines to reduce impulses and manage cravings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That means adjusting pace, trying different tools, and checking what actually helps as therapy continues.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be quicker when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share short updates, practice skills between sessions, or check in on difficult days. These options support consistent, flexible care without needing to travel.
