About Michael

Michael Dubose is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He writes and talks plainly in sessions and aims to help people find steadiness and clearer direction. He treats concerns like relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, trauma, and issues around self-esteem and purpose.

With nine years of practice, Michael combines straightforward conversation with methods that help people test new ways of thinking and behaving.

Background and approach

He tailors sessions to each person’s situation and goals, so therapy feels practical and relevant. Sessions often focus on small changes that make daily life easier. Michael uses Existential therapy to help people consider meaning, values, and choices when life feels uncertain.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Solution-Focused Therapy helps him keep work goal-oriented and short-term when that fits the client’s needs. He approaches people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and believes growth is possible at any stage of life.

Michael supports parents through fatherhood issues and caregiver stress, and he addresses challenges such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and mood disorders. Sessions are conducted in English and take place with Michigan licensure. Conversations are practical and focused on what the person wants to change.

The plan for therapy is built together, and Michael encourages steady, achievable steps toward a more fulfilling daily life.

Approaches for Online Work and Practical Change

Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choices, and values when life feels uncertain. It invites clients to talk about what matters most and to make decisions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and small steps, helping people find quick, concrete ways to move forward.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will listen to your goals and concerns and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan as progress is made and try different strategies when needed so therapy fits your needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text sessions can fit brief check-ins or busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it around work, parenting, or caregiving duties.
