Michael Ziegler, LPC, LCPC

Michael Ziegler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience based in Missouri. He helps adults who are carrying heavy feelings at home - stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, relationship and family difficulties, mood problems, and trauma-related concerns.

He describes his baseline method as Reality Therapy, which looks at what a person wants and whether their current choices are helping reach those goals. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-focused work including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. These are tools he draws on to address things like addiction, anger, sleep problems, self-esteem, and caregiver stress.

Michael’s background includes work with law enforcement, first responders, people reentering the community after incarceration, and child-focused family therapy. That experience informs how he approaches practical problems and safety after traumatic events. He emphasises clear steps to change unhelpful patterns and to manage intense reactions.

Sessions focus on examining choices, learning skills, and processing difficult memories when needed. He will help you identify what matters most and test small changes that can make daily life more manageable. His work often combines skills practice with trauma processing when memories continue to cause pain.

He writes in straightforward terms and encourages people who are new to therapy to try a few sessions to see how it fits. To begin, follow the site flow to match with him and schedule your first appointment.
