He uses a mix of therapeutic ideas tailored to the person in front of him.
Background and approach
Much of his work focuses on the present and building skills for everyday life. When it helps the work, he will also look at past experiences that influence current patterns. In sessions he works collaboratively to set realistic goals and develop tools to handle setbacks.
That might include mindfulness techniques to calm intense feelings or short-term problem-solving to move past immediate obstacles. He also supports people dealing with intimate relationship struggles, blended family dynamics, adoption or fertility decisions, and caregiving strain. Michael describes therapy as a partnership.
He aims to help people better understand their reactions, reduce symptoms such as anxiety or depression, and plan for future challenges. His background includes many years of clinical practice in Florida as an LMHC. If someone is weighing whether to try counseling, Michael encourages a simple first step: answer a few intake questions and schedule a time to talk.
He helps people find clear next steps and practical coping strategies so life feels more manageable again.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Existential Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and face big life questions. It can be useful for those coping with major changes, questions about meaning, or decisions that feel overwhelming.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily feelings without getting swept away. This approach can reduce intense anxiety and improve focus during stressful moments.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps that move you toward your goals. It’s often brief and works well when you want to identify clear next actions and measure progress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Michael works with each person to balance what feels most helpful now with long-term goals. He will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what works best for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
