Michael Malone

Michael Malone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and career concerns. He aims to meet each person where they are and partner with them to find practical steps forward. His style is direct and nonjudgmental, focused on what matters now while noting how past events may shape present struggles.

With 16 years of experience, Michael draws on ideas from several approaches to fit the situation. Sessions concentrate on the present and on clear, realistic goals. When it helps, he will look back at triggers or past events to build understanding and create better responses today.

People come to him for help with relationships, intimacy-related issues, blended family concerns, adoption and fertility decisions, and parenting strains. He also works with addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and loneliness. Michael uses straightforward discussion and skill-building to address those challenges.

Michael often helps clients develop tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and coping with life changes. He encourages short-term problem solving when appropriate and deeper reflection when needed. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer choices and more confidence in next steps.

He describes counseling as a partnership. The focus is practical progress paired with personal insight. Michael welcomes questions about his process and asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

How Michael uses therapy approaches online

Existential Therapy helps people reflect on meaning, choices, and personal values. It encourages facing difficult questions about purpose and responsibilities and can be useful for big life transitions, career decisions, and grief. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm anxiety. It supports emotional regulation and coping with stress in day-to-day life. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that lead to noticeable improvement. It focuses on strengths and immediate steps clients can take to reach their goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest the methods that match your needs. Together you can try practical exercises, reflect on meaning, or set short-term experiments to see what helps most.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow quick check-ins during a work break. Some methods translate well to remote sessions - mindfulness practices and solution-focused exercises in particular can be adapted to brief online meetings - while existential conversations also work in a virtual setting when clients prefer depth over immediacy.
