About Michael
Michael Fronk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with nine years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family problems, low self-esteem, and struggles with intimacy and attachment. He also addresses concerns like codependency, abandonment, and coping with life changes.
He uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is happening. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and daily life. He draws on client-centered methods to listen and build a working plan together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Attachment-based ideas guide work around trust, closeness, and recurring relationship patterns. When coping skills are needed, Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are introduced for stress tolerance and emotion regulation. Existential therapy helps people face big questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility when that fits the concern.
In sessions Michael keeps language plain and practical. Conversations often include setting small goals, practicing new ways of communicating, and trying different coping strategies between meetings. He aims to make steps feel doable so people can test changes in daily life.
People who come for help with addictions or family conflict will find a mix of behavioral strategies and relational focus. Those struggling with attention challenges, mood instability, or feelings of emptiness are offered concrete skill work along with deeper exploration of attachment patterns. To begin, he asks people to describe what feels most urgent and what they hope to change.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. It helps people notice how early and current relationships shape reactions to intimacy and trust. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's experience in the room and uses attentive listening to clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michael will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision making can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting plans based on what helps most.

Online work can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring examples from daily life into conversation. Licensed professionals often use a mixture of talk-based work and short tools or exercises that fit into a regular schedule.
