About Michael
Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming with 26 years of clinical experience. He began practicing in 2002 and has held his Wyoming LPC since 2012. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes.
He has a long background in crisis response and resolution. Early work included initial diagnostics and treatment planning. He has led individual and group work focused on impulse control, coping skills for anxiety and depression, and decision-making and organizational skills.
He has experience supporting people with chronic pain, serious psychotic symptoms, and the overlapping challenges of co-morbidity. He also lists concerns such as aging and geriatric issues, cancer, domestic violence, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, first responder issues, and guilt and shame among his practice areas.
His stated approach blends client-centered principles with directed cognitive behavioral work. In practice that means listening to the person’s goals, then working on specific thinking and behavior patterns that get in the way of those goals. He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing as needed.
Sessions focus on increasing or decreasing behaviors, building decision-making skills, and developing practical ways to manage strong emotions. He frames progress in measurable terms and works to strengthen the abilities people already have.
Michael sees adults and offers services in English. He accepts international clients and practices from Wyoming as an LPC.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps you set practical aims. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with specific exercises and practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. These approaches are often used together to address stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and mood concerns.Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about current problems, goals, and what methods feel most useful. That discussion guides whether the work leans more toward CBT skill-building, DBT skills, or a client-centered conversation style.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy home life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it practical to schedule around childcare or work. If you want to use online sessions, ask which formats are supported and how they fit your schedule.
