About Michael
Michael Brackett, LPC, helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. He offers a calm, direct presence to talk through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and questions about meaning and identity.
Background and approach
Michael keeps language simple and practical so parents and busy people can follow along easily. He combines talk therapy with attention to feelings and bodily experience.
That means noticing patterns in thought and behavior, then trying new ways of responding in day-to-day life. Michael draws on Jungian ideas about meaning, attachment-focused work around bonds and connection, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address emotions that drive behavior.
Over 15 years he has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, self-esteem, intimacy issues, and career transitions. He also helps people manage anger, sleep problems, codependency, and midlife questions.
Sessions often include reflecting on personal history and practicing small changes between meetings. Michael practices in Colorado and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential.
He has taught undergraduate psychology classes and has long experience working with trauma and somatic approaches. He welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.
People who come to him can expect a collaborative style. Together they set goals and try practical steps that fit everyday life.
The work aims to reconnect clients with parts of themselves that feel lost and to build steadier ways of moving forward.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current connections and emotional safety. Online sessions use conversation and focused prompts to identify attachment patterns and build new ways of relating that feel more supported. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice, name, and shift painful emotions that keep relationships and personal life stuck. In video or phone sessions, the therapist guides clients to track emotions in the moment and practice new responses. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and managing conflict with specific skills and exercises. Adapted for remote work, it can involve structured dialogue practices and homework to try between sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses to make sure it stays useful and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging which offer flexibility for different routines. Video is useful for in-depth emotional work and exercises. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging lets clients check in between meetings and keep momentum when schedules are tight.
