He began his counseling practice in 2002 while living in Georgia and has developed considerable experience in crisis response, early diagnostic assessment, and treatment planning. His work spans individual and group therapies with an emphasis on impulse control, coping strategies for depression and anxiety, and strengthening decision-making and organizational skills.

He has also supported people managing chronic pain and those experiencing severe psychotic symptoms, applying practical strategies to improve daily functioning. His clinical style blends a client-centered perspective with directed cognitive-behavioral techniques - focusing on collaboration, empathy, and measurable progress. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a state credential that authorizes professional counseling practice.

He seeks clinically meaningful and satisfying outcomes while helping clients grow their existing strengths and abilities.

Online Therapeutic Approaches and Practice

Michael Witham commonly blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a collaborative space where the individual's goals guide the work - it supports self-esteem, coping with life changes, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-focused approach that explores links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches techniques useful for anxiety, depression, and impulse control. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skill building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, anger management, and self-destructive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michael works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques from these models to fit the client's situation and pace.

Online therapy expands access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and schedule appointments around work, family, or travel commitments, offering flexibility and broader reach for people seeking support.
