About Michael

Michael Brown is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and issues connected to family of origin. He also supports people dealing with parenting strain, grief, bipolar mood concerns, and work or career stress.

He describes a practice that draws on several evidence-informed methods. Sessions focus on noticing patterns that began in childhood and how those patterns show up now. He helps people name difficult thoughts and feelings, practice present-moment skills, and try new behaviors that match their values.

Michael uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). He blends these methods to address things like attachment issues, codependency, abandonment concerns, and family problems that can trace back to early relationships.

His background includes two master’s degrees and a range of vocational experience before clinical work. The practical focus is on teaching tools for emotion regulation, communication, and setting boundaries. Sessions also explore grief, intimacy-related issues, and caregiver stress when these come up.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with what matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterning that comes from early family relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying clearer, more useful behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and practical problem solving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That lets him combine methods in a way that fits the client’s needs rather than following a single technique.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered. Confirm the available online formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt ACT and CBT tools to remote conversations, using exercises, guided attention, and behavior plans that you can practice between sessions.
