He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.

The goal is to meet clients where they are and focus on steps that help them feel more aligned with their values.

Sessions tend to emphasize practical problem solving alongside deeper questions about purpose and identity.

Michael’s style mixes direct conversation, goal-setting, and skills practice to build momentum.

Over eight years in practice inform his work and clinical decisions. He works in English and is located in Florida. If scheduling, follow the provider’s matching process to be matched and book sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Michael’s work draws on existential therapy and reality therapy, with additional use of cognitive behavioral techniques when they fit. Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, purpose, and values to help people make choices that feel authentic. Reality therapy emphasizes present-day choices and practical steps, helping people take concrete actions to change behavior and meet goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques target thoughts and behaviors, offering tools to manage anxiety, cravings, and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they decide which combination of techniques feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker follow-ups between appointments. It also supports shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches for virtual work so that practical skills, values exploration, and actionable plans are still central to treatment.
