About Michael
Michael Feldman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship struggles, and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
He draws on a range of therapeutic methods to meet complex needs, including approaches that focus on thoughts and behaviors, processing traumatic memories, and setting practical goals for change. His work also addresses related concerns such as postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and process addictions like gambling or exercise.
He emphasizes cultural awareness and sensitivity, attending to how prejudice, discrimination, and intersecting identities shape emotional life. Michael also supports clients facing infidelity, non-monogamous relationship configurations, personality disorder challenges, aging and geriatric concerns, and other life transitions.
Sessions aim to combine practical strategies with exploration of meaning and values so clients can build clearer coping skills and more satisfying relationships. Across his practice he balances evidence-informed techniques with a collaborative, person-centered stance, helping clients set realistic goals and try actionable steps between sessions.
Michael offers services in English and provides multiple online formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.
Approaches for Online Healing and Change
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress; it emphasizes practical exercises and skill-building that translate well to remote formats. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories through guided bi-lateral stimulation and targeted processing; it can assist with trauma and abuse-related symptoms when adapted for online work. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, values, and personal responsibility to help clients navigate life transitions and deeper questions about identity and purpose.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. This shared decision-making allows techniques to be blended or adjusted over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for fitting therapy into busy lives and for accessing consistent care from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to use brief check-ins or chat-based exchanges alongside longer video or phone appointments to support ongoing progress.
