Michael Keller, LMHC

Michael Keller is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Florida with 30 years of clinical experience. He focuses on addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career problems, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar concerns, and coaching. He approaches work in a direct, practical way that aims to address problems efficiently.

Michael uses straightforward conversation and structured methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. He listens for what people say about their day-to-day struggles and then suggests specific steps to try. Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals such as reducing substance use, improving communication, managing mood swings, or building confidence at work.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered methods and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used to notice patterns in thinking, practice new responses, and build skills people can use outside of sessions. Michael also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication is a concern.

His work emphasizes practical skill-building over lengthy theory. That can include short behavioral experiments, values-based action plans, and communication exercises. He aims to keep sessions focused so people use their time efficiently.

Michael describes his role as helping people tackle the problems that brought them to therapy. He asks straightforward questions, suggests doable strategies, and checks progress in follow-up sessions. To begin he asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
