About Michael
Michael Denning is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, anger, and other common struggles. He also supports people facing big life changes and career stress.
Michael’s approach is straightforward. He starts by listening so he can understand what matters most to each person. He treats clients as the expert on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than long theory discussions.
He uses a mix of methods to help people gain clearer thinking and better coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and change routines that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice feelings without getting swept up in them. Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing guide short-term goal setting and practical change.
People working on anger or relationship tensions can expect direct conversations about triggers, responses, and small experiments to try between sessions. For addiction or low motivation, he uses motivational interviewing to find personal reasons to change and small achievable goals.
Michael keeps sessions focused and goal-oriented. He helps clients track progress and adjust plans as needed. If someone wants to start, he asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can begin the practical work together.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means sessions concentrate on what the person says matters most and on building from their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then tests small changes to see what helps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises to notice sensations and urges, which can reduce reactivity in heated moments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods based on what works. He combines practical tools from different approaches to match a client's needs and the goals they set together.
