About
Michael Frampus, LCSW, practices in New Jersey and brings 18 years of clinical experience in the treatment of mental health and substance use concerns. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, and a range of addictive behaviors. His practice also addresses communication problems, panic and social anxiety, personality and mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviors.
He emphasizes an empowering, strengths-focused stance that places the client in the driver’s seat. He helps clients identify existing resources within themselves and supports them in shifting maladaptive thinking patterns while building practical coping skills to manage life’s ups and downs. Sessions are aimed at developing tools that can be used beyond the therapy hour to navigate mood fluctuations and substance use challenges.
Michael balances direct work on difficult material with a light, humane tone. He makes room for a full emotional range, allowing both tears and laughter, and collaborates with each person to create an approach that feels manageable and personally meaningful.

Remote sessions and therapeutic approach
Michael Frampus offers an approach that emphasizes client empowerment and practical skill building delivered through remote sessions. He helps clients recognize personal strengths and uses focused work on changing maladaptive thinking patterns to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. A second strand of his work concentrates on coping skills and relapse prevention strategies for those dealing with substance use and process addictions, tailored to each person’s circumstances.He maintains a humane, often light tone that allows space for both emotional depth and relief. That combination can make sessions feel collaborative and grounded: clients participate actively in setting goals and practicing strategies between meetings. This fit tends to appeal to people who prefer a hands-on, strengths-oriented process that integrates emotional processing with concrete tools.
Remote appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options are used to maintain continuity of care and to meet different communication preferences, while preserving the same emphasis on empowerment, skill development, and open emotional work.
