About Michael
Prof. Michael Feldler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 38 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
He works with people facing a wide range of challenges including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and many other life adjustments. He brings long experience in both direct clinical work and in training emerging clinicians.
His practice emphasizes listening and exploring both the immediate problems and the deeper patterns that contribute to ongoing distress. He draws on client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based methods to help clients clarify values, develop practical coping skills, and address patterns rooted in attachment and interpersonal history.
His background also includes work with addiction and trauma as well as supervising and teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level in a college-based mental health clinic. Clients can expect a practitioner who values collaboration, pays attention to motivation for change, and attends to both symptoms and underlying dynamics.
He frames therapy as a shared process aimed at reducing isolation and supporting growth toward the life a person wants to build.
Approach-Driven Online Therapy for Everyday Challenges
Prof. Feldler uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward a meaningful life, useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms like worry, depressive thinking, and sleep or eating concerns.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, trial methods, and adjust strategies so that treatment fits the client’s needs, preferences, and evolving circumstances. This helps ensure the approaches used align with what the client hopes to accomplish.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to access care without travel and to fit sessions into busy schedules. These formats support continuity of care and allow therapeutic work to continue from different locations while maintaining the same clinical methods and objectives.
