About Michael

Michael Maroney brings a decade of professional experience supporting people through challenging life moments. He works from an empathic, non-judgemental stance that aims to help clients explore what they are experiencing and build on the strengths they already possess. Michael is credentialed in Australia and holds ACA, a professional counselling credential in Australia that reflects formal training and adherence to professional standards.

His practice focuses on areas such as addictions, LGBTIQ+ related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem and motivation, grief and loss, stress and anxiety, and career-related challenges. He also attends to a range of related concerns including aging and geriatric issues, body image, communication and control problems, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, infidelity and jealousy, loneliness and life purpose, obsessions and compulsions, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Michael believes each person is the expert of their own story and that meaningful change grows from collaboration. He aims to provide supportive guidance that empowers people to pursue a more authentic life, helping them identify practical steps toward the goals they set. Working together, he seeks to create an environment where clients can build resilience and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michael draws on a blend of approaches to meet each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting clients to discover their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for issues of self-esteem, life transitions, and identity exploration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and compulsive patterns. The Gottman Method offers structured tools and exercises for couples to improve communication, rebuild trust, and address intimacy or relationship concerns.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Michael works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to sessions, and may combine elements from different models to tailor care.

Online therapy with Michael is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the format that feels most effective for the individual or couple seeking help.
