About Michael
Michael Ecuyer is an LCSW with a practical, goal-oriented approach that draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered and emotionally focused methods.
Background and approach
He frames therapy as a collaborative, coaching-oriented process aimed at helping people identify patterns that limit their sense of purpose and take concrete steps toward more satisfying relationships and daily functioning. With 33 years of experience, he brings a seasoned perspective to issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.
His practice emphasizes helping people navigate relationship and family challenges, including intimacy issues, parenting difficulties, blended family dynamics, communication problems, and separation or divorce. He also addresses a broad range of related struggles such as caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, career concerns, and coping with major life changes.
Michael works with adults who prefer a coaching style that blends insight-oriented exploration with skill-building and practical strategies. Based in Texas, he offers flexible session formats to match each person’s needs and preferences and accepts international clients who are seeking steady, experienced support.
Michael describes therapy as a partnership in which clients set goals and learn tools to move toward the life and relationships they want.
Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Michael draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviors; CBT offers practical tools and homework-style exercises to support change. He also uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals guide the work and the therapist provides empathy and support. Emotionally focused ideas inform his work on relationships and intimacy by helping people recognize and reorganize interaction patterns that undermine closeness and trust.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he treats that choice as a collaborative decision. He will discuss options, tailor strategies to a person’s priorities, and adjust methods over time based on what helps a client meet their goals and feel more effective in daily life.
Online therapy with him is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. These options provide flexibility for people who need daytime, evening, or weekend access and allow work to continue across distances for international clients.
