About Michael

Michael Fronk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and struggles with self-esteem. He focuses on concerns tied to relationships, family conflict, intimacy, ADHD, and life transitions. Michael emphasizes working with men’s wellbeing alongside general mental health needs. He seeks to create a straightforward space where concerns can be named and talked through without judgment.

Michael uses a conversational, person-focused style in session. He centers the client's experience and helps identify practical steps to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Sessions often include checking what’s working, building coping skills, and practicing new ways of handling thoughts and emotions.

His work draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people test unhelpful thoughts and develop different responses. Dialectical behavior elements may be used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when needed.

Michael holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and brings nine years of experience supporting people through change. He practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. He does not accept international clients at this time.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability. Michael uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time; exact costs vary by location and availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns. In plain terms, it looks at how people relate, why old fears can reappear, and ways to form healthier connections. This approach can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family of origin patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life. It breaks problems into small, manageable steps and teaches practical techniques for anxiety, depression, and impulsive behaviors. Many people find CBT useful for changing daily habits and reducing distress.

He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those tools can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication patterns cause recurring problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That selection can change as progress is made and new issues come up.

Confirm current online session options before booking, since formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. They also let people maintain continuity of care when schedules or life circumstances change.
