About Michael
Michael Davis is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who brings 19 years of clinical experience to his work. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD.
Background and approach
His practice also addresses specific themes such as abandonment, attachment wounds, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and substance-related issues. His therapeutic stance is warm and engaging, grounded in respect and nonjudgmental support.
Michael favors structured, evidence-informed techniques while remaining attentive to each person's story and personal values. He commonly uses cognitive behavioral strategies alongside client-centered principles and dialectical skills, and integrates mindfulness and existential perspectives when those lenses fit a client's needs.
Sessions emphasize collaborative goal-setting and practical interventions designed to move clients toward measurable change. Michael’s background includes individual, group, and in-home work with diverse concerns, and he aims to partner with clients to identify which approaches will best address their priorities and life circumstances.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Michael often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical approach that targets symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress with concrete strategies. He also integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration to ensure treatment aligns with what matters most to the person. Dialectical behavior therapy elements are used when clients need skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with clients to weigh goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailor a blend of techniques that fit those needs rather than relying on a single method.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people juggling busy schedules or limited mobility. These options allow continuity of care across different settings and can make it easier to practice skills in real time while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
