About Michael
Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 26 years of experience. He works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and parenting concerns. He also helps with sleep problems, addictions, ADHD, grief, and challenges to self-esteem.
He started his practice in 2002 and has been licensed in Wyoming since 2012. His background includes crisis response, initial diagnostic thinking and treatment planning, and running both individual and group sessions.
Background and approach
He has experience supporting people facing chronic pain and severe psychotic symptoms. Michael uses a client-centered approach combined with cognitive behavioral ideas. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and decision-making skills.
He listens for what a person wants to change and then works alongside them to make that happen. In the room he emphasizes skills for impulse control, coping with anxiety and depression, and organizing daily choices. He also draws on dialectical behavior and mindfulness methods when people need emotional regulation tools.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is trying to find reasons to change habits. People who choose him can expect direct work on manageable steps and on building strengths. He aims for measurable progress while encouraging self-reliance and confidence.
Michael welcomes sessions with clients in English and is available to work with international clients as well.

Using practical approaches in online therapy
Michael combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding a person's goals, and supporting the choices they want to make; it helps when someone needs a calm space to talk and be heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches straightforward skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and parenting stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotional regulation and impulse control, helping when strong emotions or anger get in the way of daily life.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. He will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps find what works best for each person rather than sticking to one way of working.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone is handy when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and stay consistent with care.
