About Michael
His practice emphasizes a collaborative relationship in which the client sets the goals and the therapist offers guidance and evidence-informed strategies. Michael's training is strongly rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused interventions, approaches he adapts to each person’s needs. He frames reaching out for support as an act of strength and works with clients to reduce symptoms, clarify values, and identify achievable steps forward.
Michael works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, substance issues, trauma, and a range of mood and life transition challenges. With ten years of experience, he aims to create a practical, respectful space where clients can explore change, build resilience, and move toward the outcomes they define for themselves. As a LICSW he draws on clinical training and real-world experience to support recovery and personal growth.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Michael White draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to support clients in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to develop more effective coping strategies. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative style that strengthens personal motivation for change, especially useful for addictions, ambivalence, and goals related to health or substance use. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes practical, short-term steps and goal setting to build momentum and identify strengths that move a person toward desired outcomes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michael works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, inviting clients to evaluate progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy with Michael is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access licensed professionals from home or work, and integrate therapy into a busy life without sacrificing continuity of care.
