About Michael
Michael Bohman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four decades of experience in mental health and related fields. He combines a practical, person-focused stance with clear goals that help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. Michael is comfortable talking about men’s wellbeing and related life challenges in straightforward terms.
He draws on client-centered work to meet people where they are and help them set realistic steps forward. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.
Michael has worked across many settings, including mental health, substance use, domestic violence, and trauma services. He has decades of experience as a clinical supervisor and has provided training and program development as a consultant. That background informs his practical emphasis on recovery and lasting change.
In practice he helps people cope with life transitions, handle addictive behaviors, and manage chronic stress or health-related challenges. He also supports those facing parenting or fatherhood strain, caregiver stress, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Sessions are aimed at clear, usable strategies rather than abstract theory.
He practices in Virginia and is available to work with English-speaking clients, including those outside the United States. To start, readers should confirm the current session options before booking so they know what formats are offered.
Approach and online care that fit your needs
Michael blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to make online therapy feel practical and focused. Client-centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead, helping set goals and coping steps that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try techniques that match their needs and preferences. That may mean mixing different methods as progress unfolds and adjusting focus as issues change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care when relocating or traveling. Ask about current session formats so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
