Michael is very easy to talk to and really helped me out with what I was dealing with in my first 2 sessions. I am lucky to have found him! He is very flexible and will work around my schedule. I am excited for the future and with his help I know I can be a little bit better every session. Thank you Michael!

More about Michael
- 19 years' experience

- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut with 18 years of clinical work experience. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
I can assist clients who experience depressive/ mood disorders, anxiety/panic disorders, personality disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, trauma, issues of adjustment, addictions, and social stressors.
I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Rational Emotive Therapy which address the impact of our thoughts on our feelings and behaviors. I will work with you to address and alter the irrational thoughts and beliefs that increase symptom severity and that accompany negative feelings and behaviors. I also utilize humor, when appropriate, to help strengthen the therapeutic bonds with my clients. Each client is unique and I am able to customize my therapeutic approach to your specific needs.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Mike is a fantastic therapist for what I needed, to get out of my emotional shell. A lot of personal problems with mental state and relationship. Mike helped me navigate struggles in my own mind and provided tools to succeed in areas of my life I wanted to focus therapy on. Definitely recommend for an easy going therapist.

Michael has been instrumental in providing tools and resources that I needed at this time. He has been a great listener, respectful, and helpful. I would recommend him 10/10 times!
Excellent communication and understanding of my situation and thought process. Very helpful and easy to talk with, giving honest insight and correlating awareness to my needs
I had a very rewarding experience with Michael as my therapist. This was the first time I was seeking therapy, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Michael was very easy to talk to, knowledgeable, encouraging, but not afraid to challenge me in an absolute supportive light to help me navigate through my struggles in my personal and interpersonal journey.
