Michael Capre , LPC

"I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." - William Henley. Michael Capre draws on that spirit of personal agency when working with people who feel their sense of control has been shaken by internal or external change. He helps clients clarify their values, develop greater insight into patterns of thought and behavior, and build practical self-care habits that support lasting change.

His background includes work across outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings, and he has experience with adults, adolescents, and children facing depressive, anxiety, trauma- and stressor-related, disruptive or impulse-control, substance-related, and personality concerns. At present he focuses on adolescents and adults experiencing depressive, anxiety, or personality symptoms, helping them reduce symptoms that affect their daily lives and relationships.

Michael uses an integrative set of methods, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Existential approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. He is credentialed as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) - a professional license for providing clinical counseling services. Those interested in pursuing care with Michael are invited to reach out to begin the process of working toward clearer goals and greater well-being.

Approaches Used in Online Therapy

Michael brings several established therapeutic approaches to online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where therapists support a person’s own goals and self-discovery - it is often helpful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. It emphasizes clear strategies and measurable steps toward relief.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and relational patterns influence present feelings and behaviors, which can be useful for attachment issues, personality-related concerns, and recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michael collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to receive consistent care from home or work. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum between sessions and to choose formats that suit individual communication styles and practical needs.
