About Michael

Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming with 26 years of clinical experience. He began practicing in 2002 and has held licensure in Wyoming since 2012. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, and related concerns.

He has experience in crisis response and initial diagnostics and treatment planning. Early work included individual and group therapy that focused on impulse control, coping skills for depression and anxiety, and decision-making and organizational skills.

He has also worked with chronic pain management and the care of people experiencing severe psychotic symptoms. That background informs a practical approach to complex problems and co-occurring issues.

His practice uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions tend to focus on identifying behaviors a person wants to increase or decrease and building skills to manage strong emotions and stress.

He emphasizes improving decision-making and encouraging self-reliance and confidence through measurable goals. The work is aimed at building skills people can use in everyday life to manage anger, stress, and other difficult feelings.

How Michael uses CBT, DBT and client-centered work online

Michael uses client-centered therapy to learn what matters to each person and to shape goals around those priorities. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting back concerns, and helping people define changes they want to make.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to practice alternative responses. CBT is often helpful for anger, anxiety, depression, and decision-making skills.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These practical skills help when strong feelings or impulsive reactions make situations harder to manage.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these options to focus on building real-world skills for managing anger, stress, and related concerns.
