About Michael
Michael believes each person knows their own story best. He centers sessions on the client's experience and builds on strengths the client already has. That approach aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable rather than abstract.
In sessions he listens for what matters most to the client and helps them set small, doable goals. Work can include talking through relationship patterns, managing everyday anxiety, handling life changes, and rebuilding a sense of confidence after setbacks. He also addresses concerns like caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, body image, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment.
People who come in for help with communication problems, blended family challenges, or divorce and separation can expect a calm, steady presence focused on concrete next steps. Michael also supports clients facing guilt, shame, control issues, or feelings of emptiness.
He practices Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes respectful listening and collaboration. Michael works from Florida and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients use the platform's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Client-Centered Work Translates to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building on each person's strengths. In practice this means the therapist gives space for clients to tell their story and guides conversation toward concrete next steps that feel relevant to daily life. This approach can be helpful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and coping with health-related life changes.That same person-focused approach also applies when working remotely. Finding the right fit is a collaborative process: the therapist and client will talk about goals, try an approach, and adjust if something doesn't feel useful. The therapist will help you decide which methods and pacing suit your needs and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people avoid travel time. They can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care during life transitions or periods of limited mobility. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about how to structure sessions to match work, medical needs, or caregiving responsibilities.
