About Michael
Michael Denning is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. He also helps people coping with major life changes and career strain.
He approaches sessions from a practical, person-centered angle. He treats the client as the expert on their life and draws on their strengths. Conversations focus on clear goals and small steps that make daily life easier.
Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness techniques are used to ease anxiety and improve sleep. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is stuck or trying to change habits related to substance use or behavior.
Expect a calm, direct style that favors problem-solving over long lectures. Michael prioritizes what people can try between sessions so progress carries into routine life. He pays attention to patterns like attachment and abandonment issues when they affect relationships at home.
Clients bring concerns such as grief, trauma, anger, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He also works with people navigating divorce and separation or recovery from drug and alcohol problems. The focus is always on practical coping, clearer communication, and manageable next steps.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and their priorities, giving people space to name what matters and set concrete goals. It helps with motivation and life changes by building on what already works for someone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying alternative ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Michael will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. He combines approaches when useful and adjusts pacing based on progress and feedback.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow for sessions when someone cannot be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively through remote meetings, and the focus remains practical skills, clearer communication, and steps that fit daily life.
