Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, Michael blends practical tools and reflective work to support changes in mood, behavior, and connection. He draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused perspectives, emotionally focused interventions, mindfulness practices, and client-centered methods to address issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, substance use, and gender dysphoria.

Clients can expect collaborative planning and an emphasis on skills they can use between sessions. Michael frames therapy as a partnership aimed at healing and growth, adjusting pacing and methods to match individual needs.

He practices under the credential LCSW and offers services across several online formats to increase flexibility for people living in Louisiana.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Michael often integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-focused work in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and stress, while also teaching coping skills that can be practiced between appointments. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they shape current emotional responses, helping people improve connection and manage responses tied to abandonment or attachment issues.

Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider goals, concerns, and preferences and adjust methods over time so the plan reflects what helps most in practice.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to attend sessions around work, family, or other commitments. These formats make it easier for people in Louisiana to access licensed professionals without travel, while still engaging in evidence-informed approaches and practical skill-building.
