More about Michael

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my approach to therapy is empathetic, assertive, and collaborative. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we’ll identify your goals and develop practical strategies to overcome challenges like anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

I specialize in helping individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves, build healthier coping skills, and develop a stronger sense of self-worth. My therapy style combines encouragement with actionable steps, empowering you to take control of your mental health and create lasting positive change.

You can expect to leave our sessions with a clearer perspective, greater confidence in your ability to handle challenges, and the tools to maintain long-term progress. My goal is to support you in becoming the best version of yourself by providing guidance and accountability every step of the way.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
