About Michael

Michael Capre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends cognitive behavioral techniques with insight-oriented therapies to help people navigate stress, mood concerns, and life transitions. He emphasizes identifying personal values, fostering self-awareness, and promoting consistent self-care as practical steps toward feeling more agency when change feels overwhelming.

Background and approach

Michael has nine years of clinical experience working across outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings and currently focuses on adolescents and adults presenting with depressive, anxiety, or personality symptoms. He draws on Client-Centered, Psychodynamic, and Existential ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor treatment to a person’s needs.

Michael’s work addresses a broad array of concerns from everyday stress, anger, and self-esteem struggles to trauma, grief, intimacy and relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and career or life-purpose questions. Located in Colorado, he applies a collaborative style aimed at helping clients reduce symptom-related disruption and rebuild meaningful connections in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access



Michael integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered principles to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching concrete strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered elements prioritize active listening, empathy, and creating a collaborative atmosphere where the client’s values and choices shape the pace and goals of therapy. He may also draw on existential ideas to help clients explore meaning, responsibility, and life-direction when those questions become central.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Michael treats approach selection as a collaborative conversation. He partners with clients to assess which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges, and adjusts interventions over time as needs evolve rather than prescribing a single method from the outset.

Online therapy with Michael uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats allow people to access licensed professionals from different settings and to continue work during busy or transitional periods, making it easier to sustain momentum toward personal goals.
