About Michael
Michael Keller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. He brings three decades of counseling experience to sessions and aims to address practical life problems in a straightforward way.
He helps people facing addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career setbacks, depression, trauma, anger, and bipolar-related concerns. He also supports issues like caregiving stress, attachment struggles, communication problems, codependency, and challenges after divorce or separation. Sessions focus on concrete steps and clear goals rather than long, unfocused conversations.
Michael uses a mix of therapeutic styles to match the person in front of him. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change it. Client-centered and mindfulness approaches shape a respectful, calm session tone.
He says therapy should move quickly to the problems that matter and respects clients' time and money. Michael combines attention to psychological, social, biological, and spiritual factors when tailoring a conversation and plan. He aims for practical progress while listening with sensitivity and compassion.
Michael invites people who are ready to take a step toward change to begin the process. The initial steps include completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions based on availability.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters and take small steps toward those values. It supports work on motivation, codependency patterns, and coping with mood swings by combining mindful awareness with action planning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behavior. It can help people change unhelpful thoughts that feed depression, anxiety, or anger and build new habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a warm, respectful conversation where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead to make adjustments that feel right.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michael will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision happens early and can be adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering remote work, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel time. It can also allow sessions during a lunch break or from a quieter place when that is helpful. Ask about available formats when you schedule so you can choose what fits your routine.
