About Michael
Michael Robinson is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with eight years of clinical experience based in Louisiana. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationships, and trauma and abuse. He speaks English and works with adult individuals on these issues.
He uses clear, goal-focused techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Sessions often look at how thinking and behavior affect mood and choices. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thought-feeling-action links in practical steps.
Michael also works from attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships influence current reactions. That can help when abandonment, attachment issues, or commitment concerns make relationships feel difficult. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements support identifying and naming strong emotions in relationship problems.
Client-centered methods guide how sessions are paced and how decisions about goals are made. Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness and reduce reactivity when stress or anxiety feels overwhelming. Motivational Interviewing can be brought in to explore readiness to change for substance use or other habits.
Practical matters are covered directly in sessions. People can expect active conversation, worksheets or simple exercises, and steps to try between meetings. To begin, Michael asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service’s online options.
How his approaches translate to online care
Michael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills such as tracking thinking patterns, planning behavioral experiments, and practicing new responses to stress or anxiety.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationship experiences shape current reactions. That helps when problems like abandonment, attachment issues, or commitment worries affect close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy guides how decisions are made in session, with the person’s goals directing pace and focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That might mean more CBT homework for someone prioritizing behavior change, or more attachment-focused conversation for relationship concerns.
Session formats are not listed in his biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can be scheduled around work, avoid travel time, and make it easier to keep regular meetings. Online meetings also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let therapists use screen-shared worksheets or guided exercises during the session.
