Michael Brown welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. He focuses on relationship concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and life changes. Michael explains things clearly and aims to help people notice what matters most to them.

He draws on seven years of clinical experience and uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Sessions are conversational and practical. Michael works to build skills for coping, communicating, and managing intense emotions.

People seeking help for parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, career stress, or compassion fatigue often focus on small, steady changes. Michael helps break concerns into manageable steps and practices that fit daily life. He also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, divorce and separation, or family of origin problems.

Michael holds two master's degrees and maintains licenses as an LMHC and an LPC. He has worked with clients dealing with bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, anger, and grief, among other concerns. His style emphasizes empathy, genuineness, and respect for each person's pace.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing what matters to you and choosing actions that match those values. It helps with anxiety, life transitions, and feeling stuck by building flexible ways to respond to thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotional experience and connection, often used when relationship and intimacy issues are a focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. He encourages a mix of talking, skill practice, and small experiments tailored to the individual, and he adjusts the plan as goals evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, reduced travel time, and the ability to fit sessions into a workday or family routine. Because the specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the available options before booking so you know what to expect. Many people find online sessions help them maintain steady progress while managing everyday responsibilities.
