About Michael
Michael Denning is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. He works with people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He encourages clients to take the first step and recognizes that doing so is often an act of courage.
He focuses on practical, down-to-earth conversations. Sessions aim to build on a person’s strengths and clarify small steps that make daily life feel more manageable. He listens without judgment and helps people set realistic goals they can actually try between meetings.
In his practice Michael uses straightforward techniques to address worry, mood changes, sleep problems, and relationship friction. He helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of responding when stress or anger rises. He also supports those working through grief, trauma, or complications from substance use.
Michael draws on tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, and mindfulness, adapting methods to what a person prefers. He values collaboration and invites people to share what does and doesn’t fit for them. The aim is to build coping skills that suit everyday life rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
He practices in Florida and offers therapy in English. If you are dealing with change, loss, or the ongoing strain of day-to-day stressors, he can help you map out manageable steps forward.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths. Online sessions let a therapist reflect back what a client says and guide goal-setting in a conversational way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thinking and behavior patterns into practical steps. CBT exercises translate well to remote sessions, helping people try different responses between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can be guided and practiced during an online meeting.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide whether to emphasize client-centered conversations, CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, or a blend. Goals, preferences, and what works in everyday life guide those choices rather than one fixed method.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can also fit short check-ins into a lunch break or allow for video-free sessions when bandwidth or screen time is a concern. Many people find it easier to practice skills between appointments when sessions are more convenient, and that practical fit is often the main benefit of remote work with licensed professionals.
