About Steven
Mike has worked in hospitals, youth service agencies, public schools, a health department, university teaching, and private practice. Those settings gave him experience helping people at many life stages, from young adults to older adults facing end-of-life issues. He has supported people with attention and impulsivity concerns, family of origin issues, sleep problems, and relationship challenges.
In sessions he focuses first on building a relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. That foundation helps him and the client find practical steps forward. He pays attention to strengths and uses them to shape change that fits each person’s goals and daily life.
His work draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices. These tools are used to help with emotional regulation, coping strategies, and clearer decision making rather than to promise a specific outcome.
If you want to try therapy, he asks people to think about where they want to be and what matters most. Starting is often the hardest part, and he aims to make that first step straightforward and respectful.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect so clients can find their own solutions and feel more confident about choices. That approach supports issues like low self-esteem and relationship or caregiving stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. The process is collaborative and can change over time based on what is most helpful for the client.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy day, and reduce travel time. It also allows session styles such as shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that better fits a person's routine. Ask about format options and scheduling when you set up the first appointment.
