Michael Barrett is a Michigan-licensed counselor with 13 years of professional work experience. He holds Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor credentials (MI LPC 6401011210) and offers therapy grounded in respect for each person’s strengths and life story.
He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, address addictions, cope with grief and loss, and work on anger and depression. Michael identifies as a male, Christian, older therapist and brings that perspective to his clinical work.
Michael approaches clients as the experts on their own lives and aims to build on existing strengths to meet current challenges. He recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms those who take that first step.
Many people ask whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or life transitions, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is convenience. Clients can choose the format that suits them best - video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or messaging - making it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they seek a different fit.
Overall, online therapy offers a flexible, accessible way to address everyday mental health concerns while preserving the same professional standards you would expect from in-person treatment.
