About Michael
Michael Graul is a licensed counselor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, and the lasting effects of traumatic experiences. He speaks plainly about hard things and aims to make sessions a steady place to slow down and sort out what’s happening. Michael holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices in Ohio.
He begins by looking at the thoughts and beliefs that keep problems going. Many people come in feeling they are to blame, not good enough, or stuck forever. Michael works with clients to gently test those beliefs and try different ways of thinking and coping.
Sessions focus on practical steps you can use day to day. That can mean learning new ways to manage strong feelings, practicing skills for calmer moments, or finding ways to forgive yourself and others when that fits. He also supports people dealing with cancer, shame, guilt, self-love struggles, and men’s wellbeing concerns.
Michael has seven years of experience helping people move forward after trauma and loss. He emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes. Clients and therapists set goals together and check what’s working as therapy continues.
Starting therapy doesn’t require having everything figured out. Michael frames the work as collaborative - figuring out what matters to you and trying realistic steps to get there. He accepts international clients and offers sessions for people located in Ohio.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building new coping habits. One common approach helps people identify and test negative beliefs about themselves and the world, then practice alternative ways of thinking to reduce depression and anxiety. Another approach concentrates on processing traumatic memories in manageable steps so they feel less overwhelming and interfere less with daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which techniques fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process means trying methods for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life. Many people find it simpler to attend sessions from wherever they are, which can reduce travel time and allow appointments during a work break or between errands. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current delivery options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
