About Michael
Michael Yeager is a licensed mental health counselor with 28 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship friction, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He speaks English and practices from Florida as an LMHC and LPC.
Michael keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to what each person needs. He focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions to feel steadier and manage daily pressures.
Background and approach
His background includes long-term clinical work across multiple settings over nearly three decades. That experience shaped a calm, problem-solving approach that aims to reduce overwhelming symptoms and improve communication. He pays attention to how past experiences affect current reactions and decision-making.
Michael also helps with issues related to adoption and foster care, caregiver strain, communication breakdowns, dependent personality concerns, and mood disorders. He has worked with survivors of sexual assault and people coping with panic attacks and post-traumatic stress. In sessions he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to individual goals.
He frames therapy as a collaborative effort and invites practical feedback along the way. If someone wants straightforward guidance and steady support, he offers that in a respectful, nonjudgmental manner.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and recovery. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. This helps people notice patterns that keep problems going and practice new responses in everyday life.Another approach targets trauma and stress by helping people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on current reactions. This work focuses on gradual exposure and building coping skills so overwhelming memories interfere less with day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will partner with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; chat or text can fit quick check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while keeping continuity across weeks.
