About Michael

Michael Brown is an LMHC and an LPC licensed in Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, grief, and other life changes.

He uses practical, skills-based methods to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Michael draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches to frame these steps.

Michael describes work on trauma-related material and intimacy issues in straightforward terms. He helps people understand how past experiences shape current reactions, and then practices specific coping skills to reduce distress. He also supports people managing mood problems such as depression and bipolar symptoms and work-related stress and compassion fatigue.

His background includes two master’s degrees and clinical experience across a broad range of concerns. He uses structured tools alongside open conversation. Expect concrete strategies, short exercises, and check-ins on progress each session.

People who choose him tend to want a mix of practical skill-building and reflective conversation. He accepts international clients and meets people in English. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and schedule so they fit your needs.

How his approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can use worksheets, brief behavioral experiments, and homework reviews to practice those steps between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing inner experiences and choosing actions that align with values, which often works well with short in-session exercises and daily practice prompts.

Client-Centered Therapy concentrates on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. In online meetings this looks like focused conversation, summarizing progress, and setting small goals together. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which of these methods fits a person's goals and preferences rather than assuming one approach from the start.

The original profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available formats before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework to everyday routines so therapy tools can be practiced between sessions.
