About Michael
He focuses on clear conversation and real-world strategies. Sessions often include identifying patterns, practicing new ways of relating, and building skills to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness techniques and cognitive tools are used to reduce anxiety and manage cravings when addiction is involved.
Attachment-based ideas are part of his work, helping people understand how past relationships shape current reactions. Emotionally-focused methods can be used to address charged interactions and improve communication. Michael adapts these approaches to each person rather than following a fixed script.
He has experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, commitment challenges, and the emotional impacts of cancer and serious illness. He also supports people dealing with HIV/AIDS, gender dysphoria, and issues tied to guilt, shame, or forgiveness.
Michael practices in Louisiana and uses an empathic, client-centered stance to guide decisions about treatment. He encourages people to set small, achievable goals and to review progress regularly. If you want a straightforward, collaborative therapist who focuses on practical steps, his approach may fit your needs.

How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting. Online sessions can use this approach to identify patterns and try new ways of relating in everyday situations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In remote sessions CBT often means setting clear, short-term goals, practicing new skills between meetings, and tracking progress together.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. You can change direction if something doesn’t fit, and decisions are made together.
Confirm the session formats offered before you book, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to join from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep momentum between sessions and to practice real-life skills in context.
