About Michael

Michael Fronk is an LCSW based in Texas who helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, trauma, and related challenges such as ADHD and bipolar mood issues. He supports work on intimacy, communication problems, codependency, and a range of family-of-origin and attachment difficulties.

Background and approach

His practice also covers concerns like domestic violence, substance use, and mood regulation issues including disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. With nine years of clinical experience, Michael emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered stance that prioritizes clear communication and mutual respect.

He aims to create a welcoming space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment and build practical skills for coping and change. His work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered techniques, and he draws on approaches such as DBT and existential therapy when those perspectives fit a client's needs.

Michael combines practical skill-building with attention to relational patterns and personal meaning, helping clients move toward more satisfying relationships and greater emotional stability. He guides clients through realistic, achievable steps and offers flexible online formats to suit different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Michael often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, a practical approach that is useful for anxiety, depression, and many coping challenges. He also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and how early connections shape current relationships, which can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment, and family-of-origin concerns. In sessions shaped by Client-Centered Therapy, the focus is on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where clients guide the pace and topics of their work.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. He works with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual’s needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional in Texas.
