About Michael

Dr. Michael Mitchell is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and substance or process addictions. He writes in plain language and invites a short message about what brought someone here to begin a conversation.

His style is warm and interactive and aimed at practical change rather than long talk alone. He draws on existential ideas to help clients face difficult life questions and find meaning in their choices.

Background and approach

He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and habits, and solution-focused work to set small, reachable goals. Sessions are geared toward developing everyday skills that improve functioning at home, school, or work. Dr.

Mitchell holds the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential, LMFT, and practices in Georgia. He has three years of experience and has supported people dealing with trauma, grief, workplace stress, parenting challenges, multicultural concerns, and health-related adjustments. He also addresses intimacy issues, communication problems, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions he pairs caring attention with practical exercises. That might mean practicing new communication moves, testing a thought for accuracy, or setting a short experiment between meetings. The focus is on steps clients can use right away to feel less stuck.

To begin, he asks people to describe their main concerns in a few sentences. From there he and the client build a plan that fits the person’s needs, preferences, and life situation.

Approaches Michael names

Online support

How these approaches translate to online care

Dr. Mitchell uses Existential Therapy to help people explore meaning, values, and life choices when they feel stuck or overwhelmed. That work involves open, reflective conversation about what matters and what gets in the way of living in line with personal values. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time based on what helps most. The process emphasizes shared decision-making rather than a fixed formula.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation with visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, skills practice, and people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and let people continue progress despite busy lives.
