Background and approach
Michael's practice emphasizes practical strategies alongside compassionate listening so clients can take clearer steps toward better daily functioning and emotional balance. He trained in social work and counseling and spent much of his career working within public mental health services in New York, bringing experience in both individual and group formats.
Over 32 years he developed a broad focus that includes trauma and abuse, substance use and recovery, family and communication challenges, chronic illness, and intimacy-related issues. Michael holds an LCSW credential in New York and combines client-centered care with cognitive, mindfulness, and solution-focused tools to support problem solving and meaning-making.
How Michael Integrates Approaches for Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a respectful, collaborative relationship; it helps when someone needs empathetic listening and support to explore values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured techniques and skill-building, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness-based approaches introduce present-focused awareness and stress-reduction practices that support emotional regulation and resilience in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michael works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, combining elements of different approaches so the work stays practical and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to maintain consistency, access care from different locations, and use brief check-ins or more in-depth sessions as needed.
