About Michael
Prof. Michael Feldler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 38 years of practice. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
He also supports those facing grief, parenting strains, career transitions, and struggles with self-esteem. He draws on a mix of practical talking and skill-based work in sessions. He listens for what matters most to each person and focuses on steps that can help day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to center on clear goals and doable tools rather than abstract theory. Michael has long experience in both clinical work and teaching. He has spent years supervising students in college-based mental health training clinics and has worked across settings with adults and children.
That background informs a steady, experienced presence in the room and an emphasis on learning and skill development. In practice he uses a blend of approaches to match a person’s needs. Conversations may move between exploring life meaning and values, building coping skills, and addressing relationship or attachment patterns.
He adapts methods to the situation rather than relying on a single technique. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and attention to both current problems and deeper patterns. He aims to help clients reduce isolation, manage symptoms, and move toward the life they want to lead.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and the challenges of being human; it can help people who feel stuck, lonely, or unsure about life direction by asking reflective questions and clarifying values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward what matters, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and helps people change interaction styles that cause pain or distance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will try methods that fit your needs. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions emphasize values and meaning, skills practice, or relationship patterns.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue, live chat suits short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
