About Michael
Michael Kutosi is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. He focuses on everyday struggles like depression, self-esteem, addictions, and life changes. He emphasizes practical steps and clear conversation so people can feel more in control.
He trained in social work at the University of Houston and holds a Master of Theology from Notre Dame Seminary. Michael draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques to match the needs of each person.
Background and approach
He views the person seeking help as the expert in their own life and builds on existing strengths. In sessions he uses straightforward methods to break down problems into manageable parts. He helps people set small goals, build motivation, and try new behaviors that can feel more doable.
He also supports work around forgiveness and self-love when those topics come up. Michael prefers an approach that fits the individual rather than sticking to a single method. He often combines elements from different therapies based on what makes progress for the person in front of him.
The result is a flexible plan that focuses on realistic change. Starting therapy is framed as a brave and practical decision. Michael guides people through the next steps and stays focused on skill building, clearer thinking, and steady progress toward more satisfying daily life.
Approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Michael uses a few evidence-based techniques in practical ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building motivation and resolving mixed feelings, which can be helpful for addictions and making life changes.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before, then try methods that seem likely to work. Progress is reviewed and the plan is adjusted together as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when convenient. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short check-in during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief reflections, homework check-ins, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
