Michael Ecuyer, LCSW

Michael Ecuyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 33 years of experience who blends practical coaching with psychotherapy. He frames therapy as a way to remove obstacles and move toward a clearer sense of purpose. He writes in plain terms and offers straightforward, goal-focused support for people feeling stuck.

Michael draws on client-centered work that keeps the client's goals front and center. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-focused ideas guide conversations about relationships and intimacy, while mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives add depth to understanding patterns.

He has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief, trauma and anger are also areas he commonly addresses. Additional focuses include abandonment, attachment and blended-family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency concerns.

Michael often frames sessions as a form of life coaching, helping clients set realistic steps and practice new ways of coping. He mentions experience helping with workplace stress, financial worries, and men's issues. His approach is practical and oriented toward helping clients take the next step.

He works from Texas and communicates in English. Michael notes daytime weekday availability with some evening and weekend afternoon times and checks messages daily. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling when they begin the intake process.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set their own goals; online work can let those conversations continue in a simple, practical way that centers what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; that process often uses short homework tasks and clear steps that transfer well to remote sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their emotions in relationship conversations, which can be worked through by talking and reflecting together online.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort with different techniques. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

The original biography mentions phone, text, and sometimes video sessions, but prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and let people use quieter times or breaks without long commutes. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and home practice so progress continues between sessions.
