Michael Witham, LPC

Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 26 years of experience to his work. He uses a practical, client-centered approach and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, and relationship-related concerns such as parenting and family conflict.

He began practicing in 2002 and has been licensed in Wyoming since 2012. That long experience includes crisis response, initial diagnostic planning, and both individual and group therapy. He has worked with people coping with chronic pain and those facing severe psychotic symptoms.

In sessions he blends client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods. That means he starts by listening and helping people identify what they want to change. Then he and the client develop practical skills to manage emotions, reduce unhelpful behaviors, and improve decision making.

He also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when they fit a person's goals. These approaches help with impulse control, building coping skills for anxiety and depression, and strengthening problem-solving abilities.

Michael aims for measurable, usable progress. He focuses on increasing self-reliance and confidence while supporting realistic steps toward goals. People who want straightforward skill-building and steady problem solving often find his style direct and solution-focused.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Michael combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people address current problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's goals so sessions follow what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches practical tools and thought strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behaviors.

These approaches often pair well with brief coaching elements from motivational interviewing and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when needed. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit best. That planning is collaborative and based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than a predetermined package.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Every step focuses on practical skills and measurable progress so therapy can be woven into day-to-day routines without adding unnecessary complexity.
