About Michael

Michael Brown is an LMHC and an LPC licensed in Florida and Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, issues around parenting, grief, and problems with self-esteem and intimacy.

He uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people manage strong emotions and day-to-day pressures. Sessions focus on practical skills and moment-to-moment work that can reduce anxiety, calm anger, and improve communication. He also addresses coping with life changes and the stresses caregivers face.

Michael draws on approaches that emphasize present-moment awareness and clear behavior change. He helps people notice what matters to them, practice small changes, and test new ways of responding to difficult feelings. When trauma is part of the picture, he uses methods aimed at processing painful memories and reducing their hold on current life.

Clients who want direct conversations about relationships, parenting challenges, family patterns, or career stress will find a pragmatic style. He supports people working through abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and separation issues. Work often includes emotion regulation strategies and communication practice.

Michael combines classroom learning and varied clinical work across settings. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used online and what they do

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people clarify what matters to them and make steady changes in line with those values, which can ease stress and relationship confusion.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It teaches practical techniques for managing anxiety, depression, and anger through small, testable changes in thinking and actions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with expression and patterns of emotion that show up around relationships. It can help people recognize and name strong feelings and practice new ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try approaches that fit the person's situation and adjust if something is not working.

Session practicalities should be confirmed before booking since formats are not detailed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family time, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions so they work with daily life and personal responsibilities.
