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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
