About Michael

Michael Brackett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who works with people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, depression, ADHD, and related life challenges. He emphasizes helping clients reconnect with their inner world, untangle long-standing patterns, and rediscover a steadier sense of self.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience, Michael blends psychological insight with embodied practices to support meaningful change. His work treats therapy as a collaborative exploration rather than simple symptom control.

Drawing on Jungian depth psychology, attachment ideas, and emotionally-focused methods, he encourages curiosity and compassion for whatever emerges in sessions. Michael also incorporates somatic and creative practices learned through years of training and teaching, aiming to help people not only understand change intellectually but experience it bodily and emotionally.

Clients can expect an active, inquiry-based process that honors meaning, identity, and personal growth. Michael’s background in higher education and trauma-informed somatic work informs a style that is reflective, practical, and oriented toward helping people live with greater honesty, resilience, and purpose.

Integrating Depth-Oriented Approaches with Online Care

Michael often uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore how relationships shape emotional life; attachment work looks at early patterns of connection and helps people form more supported ways of relating, while EFT focuses on the emotional experiences that underlie conflicts and disconnection. He also draws from Existential Therapy to help clients examine meaning, choice, and identity when facing life transitions or questions of purpose.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist treats that selection as a collaborative decision. He will talk through goals, preferences, and presenting concerns with clients and adapt methods over time so the process fits each person’s needs and evolving priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for this kind of depth-focused work. Video calls allow for nuanced, face-to-face interaction that supports emotional and relational exploration, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging expand access and make it easier to maintain continuity when schedules or geography are limiting. These options help people engage in sustained, reflective therapy without needing to rearrange their lives around sessions.
