Prof. Michael Feldler, LMHC

Prof. Michael Feldler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with decades of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life transitions. He brings a steady presence and practical focus to sessions. He aims to help people feel less isolated and more able to move toward the life they want.

He uses clear listening to learn what matters most to each person. He pays attention to both immediate problems and the deeper patterns that keep them repeating. That can mean talking through difficult feelings, building coping skills, or planning small behavior changes that add up over time.

Michael has worked in many settings over a 38-year career. He has experience with trauma, addiction, and issues linked to family and relationships. He has also supported people with grief, chronic illness, aging concerns, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar disorder.

For about 14 years he taught and supervised students in a college-based mental health clinic. That work sharpened his skills in leading groups and guiding newer counselors. He describes his style as practical and relational - focusing on what the person needs now while tracking longer-term goals.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Michael aims to help people recognize motivations, reduce loneliness, and take steps toward greater wellbeing. Prospective clients can expect straightforward language and an emphasis on workable strategies rather than jargon.

How certain approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that point toward a meaningful life, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in front of the therapist, using empathy and nonjudgmental listening to create space for self-directed growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques from different approaches and checking in regularly to see what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In practice, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let people try different ways of working - for example, focusing on skills practice in one meeting and deeper relational work in another - so therapy fits everyday life.
