Michael Brown , LMHC, LPC

Michael Brown is a licensed clinician who brings a trauma-informed focus to helping people heal at deep, core levels. He integrates mindfulness-based approaches with targeted trauma work, using interventions such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help access and transform earlier emotional wounds that often underlie current distress. EMDR and IFS are evidence-informed methods designed to work with difficult memories and internal parts to restore emotional balance.

Known for compassion, empathy, genuineness, unconditional acceptance, and a love of learning, he creates an environment that supports exploration and growth. He has worked with a wide range of symptoms and life challenges, aiming to optimize emotional and psychological functioning through practices that honor each person’s experience. His clients have found relief from anxiety, PTSD, panic, depression, self-esteem struggles, and religious or spiritual conflicts.

He holds two master’s degrees and maintains clinical credentials as an LMHC and an LPC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor, respectively. He offers hope that therapy can lead to meaningful change, greater peace, and a deeper connection with one’s authentic self.

Approaches for online healing and therapeutic support

Michael Brown draws on several evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop practical strategies to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and panic and to improve coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration, creating a space where clients can explore feelings and strengthen self-awareness and resilience.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Michael works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adjust methods over time so care fits the individual’s situation and strengths.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for those seeking support. Michael provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate varying schedules, energy levels, and access needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to effective treatment.
