Dr. Michael Altekruse is a licensed psychologist in Wisconsin (WI Psychologist 2118-57) with more than 25 years of professional experience.
His work history includes positions in college counseling centers and service within a school district, giving him the opportunity to work with clients of all ages and a broad range of concerns.
He has experience with anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, parenting concerns, depression, career challenges, ADHD, and life changes.
His approach begins with learning as much as possible about a person and what brought them to therapy. As goals are developed, he seeks to identify the barriers that sometimes get in the way of achieving what a person wants or needs in their life.
He has been described as respectful, sensitive, calming, caring, and someone with a good sense of humor. He does not present himself as someone who has all the answers - he emphasizes that it is up to each individual how they want to face their problems and what actions they are willing to take.
Dr. Altekruse recognizes that taking the first step toward getting help can be difficult, and he notes that starting therapy shows a willingness to look at oneself and make important changes. He looks forward to the opportunity to work with new clients.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One significant advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - choosing the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level.
These services are provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and if someone decides a different fit would be better they can switch therapists at any time.
For many people, online therapy offers a practical way to access care and support while fitting into everyday life.
