About Michael

Michael Keller is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He brings three decades of experience to sessions and focuses on practical ways to address relationship strain, addictions, depression, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

He speaks English and aims to be direct and respectful in sessions. He draws on approaches like the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns.

Conversations are tailored to the person’s situation and framed around clear goals. Sessions often move quickly to the issues that matter most.

Clients may work on communication and commitment concerns, managing anger and bipolar symptoms, or coping with trauma and substance use. He also helps with career doubts, feelings of emptiness, and guilt or shame.

The focus is on skills and small changes that can shift daily life. Michael keeps therapy straightforward.

He listens, asks practical questions, and suggests exercises people can try between sessions. He respects time and money by focusing on useful steps sooner rather than later.

People start by filling out a short questionnaire and scheduling a session. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

He encourages those who take the first step and offers a collaborative path forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Michael blends the Gottman Method with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered work to address relationship patterns and personal values. The Gottman Method focuses on communication behaviors and practical exercises that can reduce conflict and rebuild trust. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy to help people feel heard and understood.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different ways of working until a good fit emerges. Together you’ll set priorities, try short exercises, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you use visual cues and work more deeply during scheduled sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while focusing on real, usable skills.
