About Michael
Michael Brown is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, and codependency concerns among other issues. Sessions are delivered in English and he accepts international clients.
Michael uses a range of practical approaches in sessions. He draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build small, doable changes. He also integrates client-centered principles so conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of him.
He often works with people who feel stuck by past wounds that keep showing up in close relationships. In those cases he may use methods aimed at processing traumatic memories and the feelings tied to them. Sessions involve learning skills to manage anxiety, regulate strong emotions, and practice new ways of relating.
Michael has two master’s degrees and a background that blends vocational and life experience with clinical practice. Over seven years he has supported people through panic, depression, grief, caregiver stress, and work-related strain. He also helps clients who want coaching-style focus on career or life transitions.

How sessions work
Using ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Michael often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and to clarify personal values that guide change. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone keeps putting others first.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to practice concrete behavior changes. CBT is practical for panic, low mood, and breaking cycles of people-pleasing. Paired with client-centered principles, sessions focus on what the client wants to address in everyday life, with the therapist listening and reflecting to keep work practical and focused.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide what fits best based on the clients goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as progress is tracked.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm what is offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or options that do not require being on camera, which can help sustain steady progress over time.
