Michael "Mike" O'Neill , LPC

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Mike uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concerns most often brought to his work. He employs cognitive and behavioral strategies that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and address depressive patterns. For clients facing addictions, he focuses on relapse-prevention strategies and coping-skill development that support long-term recovery and healthier routines. For trauma and loss, his work emphasizes stabilization, pacing, and gradual processing so that people can work through difficult memories and emotions at a manageable rate.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mike collaborates with each person to explore which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy with Mike is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, reduce travel time, and access support from wherever a person is located, including international clients who are seeking licensed professionals with experience in stress, trauma, addiction, and grief.
