About Michael
Michael (Mike) Dyson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 20 years of clinical and coaching experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He also supports those facing compassion fatigue and workplace strain.
Mike has worked in a range of settings, including the faith-based community, and has provided executive and professional coaching. That coaching has focused on motivation, confidence, and helping people push past barriers to reach new goals. He describes his style as practical and results oriented.
In sessions Mike helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then tries different ways of responding. He uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to guide the work. Conversations include clear steps, small experiments, and brief exercises to practice between meetings.
Clients can expect direct feedback, goal-focused planning, and attention to everyday obstacles like workplace stress and relationship communication problems. He also addresses issues such as divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Michael invites people to begin with a short questionnaire and a first session to set goals. He asks clients to treat therapy as active work that includes practice outside sessions. The emphasis is on practical tools that can be used in daily life.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Michael commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in straightforward, practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through small experiments. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while making choices that match what matters to them. It can be useful for life changes and compassion fatigue.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist decide whether to focus more on skills practice, values-driven steps, or short coaching tasks to reach specific targets.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help many people keep momentum between sessions and apply exercises in everyday situations.
