About Michael
Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 26 years of clinical experience. He brings a practical, client-focused approach to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and challenges like ADHD and addictions. He also addresses grief, self-esteem, sleep and eating struggles, and life transitions, with an emphasis on men’s wellbeing where relevant to the client's goals.
He started practicing in 2002 and has worked in crisis response, initial diagnostics, and treatment planning. Early work included both individual and group therapy that focused on impulse control, coping skills for anxiety and depression, and improving decision-making and organizational strategies. He has experience with chronic pain management and with more severe psychiatric symptoms.
His style blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques. Sessions focus on practical steps to change unhelpful behaviors, manage strong emotions, and build better decision-making. He aims to strengthen a client’s confidence and self-reliance while targeting clear, measurable goals.
Michael also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person’s needs. Those methods are used to build coping skills, increase emotional regulation, and support sustained behavioral change.
He practices from Wyoming and offers services in English. Michael welcomes conversations about goals and what someone hopes to change before moving forward with scheduling.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Michael combines client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person says, helping them set goals and feel heard. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation and impulse control are central issues. DBT offers clear strategies for handling intense emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and building healthier responses to stress.
Finding the best approach is part of the early work. Michael will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That process might blend listening-focused work with skill-building and mindfulness practices as needed.
