Michael Williams, LPC

Michael Williams is an LPC with 35 years of counseling experience. He blends talk therapy with attention to physical and emotional wellbeing. Michael aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life transitions.

He trained in psychology at Morehouse College and completed a master of arts degree in psychology at Washington University in St. Louis. Over decades in practice he has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and issues tied to work and career.

Michael uses approaches that emphasize relationships, present-moment awareness, and practical skills. In sessions he draws from attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to match the approach to each person’s situation.

He also lists aging and geriatric issues among his focus areas, so he can help people navigating midlife and later-life transitions. Other topics he commonly addresses include parenting stresses, compassion fatigue, substance concerns, and self-esteem.

His style centers on clear conversation and step-by-step coping strategies. People can expect help sorting priorities, managing strong emotions, and planning concrete changes.

How his approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people feel and connect. It helps when relationship patterns affect emotions, self-worth, or stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. That collaborative process helps pick which methods to emphasize and how to adjust them over time.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into busy days easier. It can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, and let people meet from different rooms in their home or workplace. Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment-based and CBT techniques to remote sessions, using talk-based exercises, guided breathing or mindfulness, and practical homework between meetings.
