About Michael

Michael Williams is a licensed professional counselor with 35 years of clinical experience who blends practical talk therapy with a holistic sensibility.

Background and approach

He draws on training in cognitive behavioral approaches and attachment-informed work alongside mindfulness and emotionally-focused techniques to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and life transitions. His background in psychology includes a BA from Morehouse College and an MA from Washington University in St.

Louis, which inform a thoughtful, evidence-aware practice. In sessions he emphasizes collaboration and present-focused coping skills while attending to relational patterns and emotional processing.

Michael’s scope includes work on self-esteem, anger, parenting challenges, career and life-purpose questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other concerns. He is licensed as an LPC in Colorado and Missouri (CO LPC 0014602, MO LPC 000331) and offers flexible formats including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Prospective clients can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a brief matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to his availability.

Approaches that guide online therapeutic work



Michael often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices into online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and many practical challenges. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and stress regulation skills, which can help with emotional reactivity, coping with life transitions, and attention-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adjust the mix of strategies over time so clients feel understood and involved in planning their care.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between in-person appointments when travel or timing is a barrier. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide consistent, goal-oriented support while tailoring interventions to each client’s needs.
