About Michael
Dr. Michael Haney is a Florida-licensed LMHC with 30 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and compassion fatigue. He also works with concerns such as ADHD, relationship and family matters, grief, intimacy-related issues, and anger.
He uses practical, conversation-based work to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on what is getting in the way now and on small experiments to try different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his approach alongside client-centered and mindfulness methods.
Dr. Haney also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused techniques when those fit a person's goals. That can mean learning short skills for emotional regulation or breaking a problem into concrete next steps. The work often alternates between talking, skill practice, and planning concrete changes.
He describes himself as respectful and sensitive in session. Expect direct feedback, practical tools, and time to talk through difficult events. The aim is to build ways of coping that are useful in daily life.
People who contact him will follow a routine of setting goals and checking progress. For many, the focus shifts from relief of acute symptoms to steady strategies for ongoing challenges. Dr. Haney prefers clear, structured sessions with room for honest discussion.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Haney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, breaking problems into smaller parts and planning concrete experiments to see what changes. Client-Centered Therapy provides a straightforward framework for listening and responding to a person's concerns, focusing on their priorities and what matters most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when intense feelings make decision making difficult.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted based on what helps most in early sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use video or audio depending on what feels most practical for a given week. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your schedule and needs.
