About Michael
Michael Capre uses a person-centered approach to meet parents where they are. He focuses on practical change, clear values, and building everyday skills. Michael is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of clinical experience in Colorado.
He aims to help people who feel stuck by offering straightforward support and steady feedback. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client, identifying patterns that get in the way, and trying small changes that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
He works with adults and adolescents on anxiety, depression, mood and personality symptoms, and stress related to life transitions. Michael draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses psychodynamic thinking to help people see recurring relationship patterns.
Existential themes appear when clients want to explore purpose, values, and meaning during midlife shifts or career decisions. In practice he keeps conversations clear and goal-focused. Parents often bring worries about intimacy, grief, parenting stress, or codependent patterns.
He helps people set manageable steps for change and build healthier routines that reduce overwhelm. Michael has worked in outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings, which shaped his flexible approach to care. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to meet a client’s schedule and communication preference.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of him, using empathic listening and reflection to help people clarify values and decide next steps. This approach is useful for parents who want understanding before making changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and introduces practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or change unhelpful routines. CBT is often chosen when a client wants concrete tools to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what feels most effective. Clients participate actively in choosing strategies that fit their parenting priorities and daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style feedback, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
