About Michael
Michael Fronk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and codependency. He offers straightforward support for relationship and family struggles, low self-esteem, motivation problems, and coping with life changes. His work focuses on helping people take practical first steps toward feeling better.
He creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are aimed at clarifying what matters to each person and finding realistic ways to move forward. Michael emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Michael uses approaches that center the person and their relationships. He draws on attachment-based ideas to examine how early bonds shape current patterns. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking habits that maintain distress.
Experience matters in how he structures sessions. With nine years as a licensed clinical social worker, Michael balances practical skills with empathic listening. He works at a pace chosen by the client and adjusts tools to fit daily life.
People who come to him often want help with intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD-related challenges, or substance concerns. He supports clients in naming core problems, improving communication, and building clearer boundaries. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this means talking about how you connect, set boundaries, and react when you feel rejected or alone. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on how thoughts and actions keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can be practiced between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working until something fits. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find it helpful to try remote sessions first to see how the therapist's style feels, then adjust frequency or tools as needed.
