About Michael

Michael Keller practices using focused, evidence-informed methods with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients address a broad range of concerns. He draws on three decades of clinical work to create straightforward, goal-oriented therapy that moves quickly from assessment to practical strategies for change.

Background and approach

His approach blends CBT with mindfulness and acceptance techniques to help people manage mood, addictive behaviors, relationship patterns, and career-related stress. Clients encounter a therapist who values directness and respect, shaping conversations around psychological, social, biological, and spiritual factors that influence wellbeing.

Michael adapts interventions to each person's circumstances and priorities, aiming to build skills for coping with depression, trauma, anger, bipolar symptoms, self-esteem and communication challenges. He also offers coaching-oriented support for motivation and life transitions.

Licensed as an LMHC in Florida (FL LMHC MH5008), Michael brings 30 years of experience to his practice. He encourages those taking the first step toward help and emphasizes a collaborative process that honors individual needs while focusing on measurable progress.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online care

Michael commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical techniques to change them, which can help with depression, anxiety, addiction patterns, and mood instability. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and acceptance of difficult emotions, supporting clients who struggle with avoidance, chronic distress, or motivation.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative: the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances to determine which methods fit best. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so treatment aligns with what the client finds most helpful and realistic.

Online therapy with him is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to connect from home or work, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue care when in-person options are limited, while still working on concrete skills, communication strategies, and relapse prevention plans.
