About Michael

Michael Brackett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship pain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, and issues tied to identity and intimacy including codependency.

He focuses on helping people notice how they lose themselves in relationships and in life. Sessions often look at attachment patterns, communication problems, and the ways old coping habits keep a person stuck. He uses direct conversation, reflective listening, and experiential practices to help someone name what is happening and try new ways of responding.

Michael draws on approaches that emphasize feelings, relationships, and personal meaning. That includes attachment-based work, emotionally-focused methods, Jungian ideas about inner life, and elements of psychodynamic thinking. Therapy may include discussions about patterns, attention to bodily experience, and exploring personal stories and symbols.

He also brings teaching experience into sessions. That means he may offer clear explanations, exercises to practice between meetings, and focused feedback about relationship patterns. People often use that practical guidance to test boundaries, change communication habits, or cope with grief and life transitions.

Michael accepts clients who prefer work in English and is open to international clients. Before committing to regular sessions, he asks people to describe their goals and current struggles so he can recommend the best next step.

How sessions work

Approach-driven online sessions and what they involve

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice clinginess, avoidance, and the ways they rely on others for emotional safety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings in the moment and on how partners or close others respond; it is useful for people who want to change repeating interaction cycles and feel understood. Existential therapy explores meaning, choices, and responsibility; it is often helpful for people facing life changes, midlife questions, or a sense of emptiness.

Figuring out which approach fits is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and work together to adjust the focus as needed. That means sessions can shift between addressing attachment patterns, working with feelings in the room, or examining life direction depending on what helps most.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for a shorter check-in on a break, or reduce the need to travel. It also lets people use conversational and experiential techniques from the same space where they live, while the therapist helps plan practical steps to apply between meetings.
