Dr. Michael Bryan , LCPC, LPC

Dr. Michael Bryan is a licensed counselor with 25 years of clinical experience and a doctorate of education in counseling psychology. He holds LCPC and LPC counseling credentials; LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and both credentials indicate professional licensure to provide counseling services.

Over the course of his career he has worked with a broad spectrum of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and issues related to adoption and foster care. This background gives him experience addressing both common life stressors and more complex adjustment needs.

His therapy style is described as warm, interactive, conservative, and Christian-based. Clinically he integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, rational-emotive approaches, and solution-focused strategies, shaping conversations and treatment plans to match each person’s situation.

Respect, sensitivity, and compassion are central to his work, and he aims to tailor interventions to individual strengths, goals, and values while helping clients build practical skills for coping and growth.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online care

Dr. Michael Bryan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, OCD, and difficulties with concentration or impulse control.

He also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes accepting difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and committed action. ACT can be helpful for stress, avoidance, and chronic emotional struggles by teaching present-moment awareness and value-guided steps.

Solution-Focused Therapy appears in his approach as well, favoring concise, goal-oriented conversations that highlight strengths and immediate steps forward. This approach can be useful for life transitions, coping strategies, and focused problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques, and he will tailor interventions in partnership with the client.

Online therapy by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers scheduling flexibility and easier access to ongoing support. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue work between meetings with practical tools and regular contact.
