Michael trained in psychology, earning a BA from Morehouse College and a MA from Washington University in St. Louis. His background also includes training in body-centered work. That combination shapes how he thinks about stress, trauma, grief, and physical tension.
People come to him for help with life changes, career questions, parenting strain, and issues like anger or shame. He also supports people facing obsessions, compulsions, and addiction concerns. Sessions are meant to be practical and goal-focused while honoring each person's pace.
Michael emphasizes a collaborative, respectful process. He listens first, then helps set clear, realistic goals. Over time the work focuses on small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships affect current patterns. In online sessions this can help people understand why they react strongly in relationships and learn new ways to connect and regulate emotion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pace and uses listening and reflection to build self-understanding and confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michael will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, provide a quieter and shorter check-in when needed, and let people use tools and exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can help translate the same core techniques used in person into an online setting so the work stays practical and focused on daily improvements.
