He aims to help clients access deeper healing by combining evidence-informed interventions with a compassionate, person-centered stance.

Background and approach

Michael’s practice emphasizes helping clients increase self-awareness, improve coping, and reconnect with a more authentic sense of self. With seven years of clinical experience and dual master’s level training, Michael integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.

He is licensed as an LMHC in Florida (FL LMHC MH23926) and as an LPC in Pennsylvania (PA LPC PC013943) and provides services to clients in Pennsylvania while also accepting international clients.

Michael describes his therapeutic stance as compassionate, genuine, and grounded in unconditional acceptance, and he invites people to explore therapy as a path toward greater peace, freedom, and emotional resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms, which can be helpful for depression, anxiety, and concentration difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports clients in exploring and shifting emotional responses to improve relational patterns and personal emotional awareness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, explore which methods feel most useful, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques and pacing best match individual preferences and needs.

Online therapy with Michael is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access care across distances, while allowing therapists and clients to use the approaches above in ways that suit each person’s schedule and communication style.
