About

Michael Frampus, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 18 years of experience supporting people through mental health and substance use concerns. With a master's degree in social work, he works with clients who may be feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or patterns related to addiction, and he aims to make therapy a place where difficult topics can be approached with steadiness, warmth, and a sense of humanity.

He emphasizes that clients remain in the driver's seat of the work. Sessions focus on empowerment, helping people identify personal strengths and build practical coping skills for the natural ups and downs of life. A key part of his approach is helping clients notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that can keep anxiety, low mood, or compulsive behaviors stuck in place.

Michael keeps the tone approachable and can incorporate humor when it is helpful, while still making room for real emotion. His goal is to help clients move through painful experiences, learn new ways to respond to challenges, and develop tools that support long-term resilience and growth.

Evidence-Based Tools, Delivered Through Online Therapy

Michael Frampus uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and building resilience. One common focus in this style of work is identifying maladaptive thinking patterns and learning how to challenge and replace them with more balanced, workable perspectives, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and panic-related concerns.

Another key element is strengths-based support, where therapy highlights what is already working, helps clients reconnect with personal values, and turns past challenges into a clearer understanding of what they need going forward. This approach can support people navigating stress, mood disorders, and recovery from substance use patterns by reinforcing skills that promote steadier day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michael collaborates with clients to clarify goals, identify what feels most helpful, and adjust the pace and strategies over time so the work fits the person, not the other way around.

Online therapy also makes support easier to access. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, and can use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility. This range of options can help people stay consistent with therapy even when schedules are busy or energy is low.
