Dr. Michael Bryan is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. He holds a Doctor of Education in counseling psychology and brings a steady, respectful presence to sessions. He presents as warm and interactive and describes his approach as influenced by Christian values.
He helps people with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, career challenges, attention difficulties, and issues connected to adoption and foster care. Self esteem is one of the topics he lists among his focus areas.
His way of working is practical and goal-oriented. He uses cognitive behavior ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. He blends those with solution-focused steps so people can build doable changes between sessions.
Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas also appear in his practice. These approaches are used to help people notice their reactions, stay present, and choose actions that match their values. Conversations and treatment plans are adjusted to fit each person's situation.
Sessions aim to be conversational and tailored rather than rigid. He says he treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Prospective clients are encouraged to decide if his style and perspective feel like a good match before scheduling.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic conversation where the person leads the pace and focus of the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Sessions can mix styles so practical skills, present-moment awareness, and values-driven actions all play a role when useful.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone continue consistent work while balancing family, job, or other commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to virtual settings and tailor each plan to everyday life needs.
