About Michael
Michael Strazi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for common struggles. He helps people who feel stuck by listening, asking clear questions, and offering straightforward guidance.
He often works with people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and the effects of trauma or abuse. He also supports those dealing with panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety, and workplace pressure.
Background and approach
His practice includes addressing communication problems, family of origin issues, substance concerns, and veteran and armed forces issues. Michael approaches therapy believing each person knows their own story best. He aims to build on a person’s existing strengths rather than starting from scratch.
Sessions focus on practical steps a person can use between visits, not only talk during them. People who come to him can expect a respectful, steady space to sort through what matters most. He emphasizes small, achievable changes and helps clients track progress over time.
Michael supports those ready to take the first step toward clearer thinking and better daily functioning. To get started people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. He offers several online formats so therapy can fit into busy lives.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at clear, practical change. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding to stress and anxiety; this helps reduce avoidance and break cycles of worry. Another common technique emphasizes gradual exposure to feared situations in small steps, which can lessen panic, phobias, and social anxiety over time.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust work as progress becomes clear. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit best for day-to-day life and long-term aims.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more interaction is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a screen-free option is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, share quick updates, or arrange brief check-ins without a full session. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with work, family, and other responsibilities.
