About Michael
Michael Ecuyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 33 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and addictions. He frames his work in practical terms and often uses coaching-style conversations to identify obstacles and plan next steps.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, try small changes, and track what helps. He also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when helpful to understand how past experiences affect present choices.
Michael has long experience with relationship strain, blended family issues, and parenting pressures. He also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and career or financial stressors. Addiction and codependency concerns are part of his practice as well.
Sessions are structured around clear goals and practical steps. Conversations often include tracking thoughts, rehearsing new responses, and checking what changes between sessions. Michael describes his role as similar to a life coach when clients want a forward-focused plan.
He works with individuals on intimacy-related issues, commitment questions, and communication problems. He also helps people coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and adjustment after separation or divorce.
Michael offers services from Texas and communicates in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling a first meeting.
How CBT and related approaches translate to online work
Michael blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and emotionally-focused work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to see if they shift mood or relationship patterns. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can identify their own priorities and goals. Emotionally-focused therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people recognize and respond differently to strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Michael will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client's goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as needed over time. Sessions aim to set concrete goals, practice new skills, and review progress together.
The original profile mentioned phone, text, and occasional video sessions, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people try different interaction styles - for example a text check-in between sessions or a focused phone session during a work break - and then discuss what format supports their progress.
