Michael Ecuyer , LCSW

Michael Ecuyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing from Texas with 33 years of clinical experience. He combines clinical training with a life-coaching orientation to help people identify and move past the barriers that keep them from pursuing their goals and purpose. The LCSW credential indicates advanced social work training and qualification to provide clinical therapy and support.

Over three decades, Michael has worked with people from diverse backgrounds who face a wide range of challenges. He has particular experience assisting individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship disappointments, trauma, addiction, and parenting concerns. He also has extensive work with couples experiencing marital strain and families navigating blended-family dynamics, as well as clients managing workplace stress, financial pressures, and men’s issues.

Michael offers flexible communication options including phone calls, text messaging, and occasional video sessions depending on client preference. His typical availability is during daytime hours on weekdays with some evening openings and a limited number of weekend afternoon slots, and he monitors and responds to messages each day. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort focused on practical steps to reduce obstacles and support meaningful change.

Approach-focused therapy and virtual sessions

Michael integrates client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused strategies to address a wide range of concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s values and goals and creates a respectful, collaborative space where clients lead the pace of change; it is helpful for self-esteem, life transitions, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress or anxiety and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people and couples recognize and reorganize emotional responses to improve connection and intimacy, making it useful for relationship strain and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michael works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time, combining elements from different approaches when appropriate to support meaningful progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility for those balancing work, family, or geographic distance. Michael provides sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different comfort levels and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and access therapists and licensed professionals without disrupting daily responsibilities.
