About Michael
Michael Dubose is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, believing that change and growth are possible at any stage of life.
Background and approach
Michael emphasizes practical strategies to rebuild daily routines and regain a sense of balance when life feels overwhelming. With nine years of experience and credentials as an LCSW and LMSW, he adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit an individual’s needs and goals.
His work commonly addresses self-esteem, motivation, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, grief, and a range of mood and panic-related issues. He also supports those facing caregiver stress, fatherhood questions, communication difficulties, and struggles with life purpose or forgiveness.
Michael uses evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside existential and solution-focused perspectives, to offer concrete tools and meaningful reflection. He encourages clients to take the first courageous step toward greater fulfillment and provides steady support throughout the process.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Growth
Michael often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related problems. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to concentrate conversations on current strengths, small achievable goals, and rapid steps toward change, which can be helpful for people seeking concrete progress.Finding the most useful approach is part of the work itself; he treats treatment planning as a collaborative process that takes into account each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together the therapist and client explore what methods fit best, adjusting focus over time as circumstances and priorities evolve.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to integrate therapy into busy lives. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, allow different modes of interaction depending on comfort level, and help people access care from their own environments while maintaining continuity of support.
