Michael’s background includes a master’s degree from the University of Central Florida and a range of clinical roles that exposed him to many mental health concerns. He has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, grief, intimacy and relationship challenges, and attention-deficit needs. That variety shaped a flexible, problem-focused style.

Michael also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain. He balances practical tools with conversations about values and purpose. Over time he helps clients set achievable steps and measure progress.

How Michael’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. Online sessions use this approach to help people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and choices when life feels uncertain. In an online setting these conversations help people connect practical steps to their deeper priorities. Michael combines these approaches to tailor each session to what a person needs in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match goals, comfort, and pace. That choice can change as progress is made so sessions remain useful and relevant.
