About Michael
Michael Sanchez is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida with eight years of experience in diverse mental health settings.
Background and approach
He works with people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression, drawing on a background that includes residential care, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs for both mental health and substance use. This practical experience informs his work with complex or high-intensity challenges.
His style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs. Michael integrates several therapeutic approaches to help clients build motivation, confidence, and coping skills; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a notable part of his toolkit.
He also uses attachment-focused and client-centered ideas alongside motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to address patterns, communication difficulties, and life purpose concerns. Clients can expect a collaborative process that adapts over time as goals evolve.
Michael supports work on issues such as codependency, impulsivity, isolation, family problems, and addiction-related struggles, aiming to help individuals move toward clearer priorities and more sustainable coping strategies.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Michael frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy is another element of his practice, focusing on understanding how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and emotional responses. These approaches together can clarify patterns and offer concrete tools for change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting methods as work progresses so treatment remains relevant and grounded in the client’s priorities.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from different locations while working with a licensed professional. The varied options allow clients to choose how they communicate and engage between sessions.
