About

Michael Shacklette, LPCC, supports people who may know exactly what they want to change, or who simply sense that something feels off and are unsure where to begin. He welcomes individuals at any point in the process and works to meet each person where they are - whether that means taking the first steps toward insight or continuing work on concerns that have been present for a long time.

Across a range of settings including inpatient care, the court system, community mental health, and private practice, Michael has worked with individuals from many different backgrounds. His experience includes helping clients navigate concerns such as trauma, substance use, depression, anxiety, grief, and marital conflict, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques and approaches such as EMDR when appropriate.

Michael recognizes that self-discovery can be one of the most demanding journeys a person takes. He aims to be a steady ally alongside clients as they explore what is getting in the way, identify patterns that no longer serve them, and move through challenges with greater clarity and direction. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), he brings a grounded, supportive presence to the work and values the opportunity to connect as clients navigate the obstacles in their lives.

Evidence-Based Support, Designed for Online Care

Michael Shacklette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients work through concerns like trauma, substance use, grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict. Evidence-based care means drawing from approaches that have been studied and shown to be helpful for many people, while still tailoring the work to the individual in front of him.

When trauma is part of the picture, EMDR may be incorporated when appropriate. EMDR is a structured approach that helps people process distressing experiences in a guided way, with the goal of reducing how intensely those memories and triggers show up in day-to-day life. Michael also uses evidence-based strategies that support practical coping and clearer communication, which can be especially helpful during major life changes and ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michael collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not worked before, and choose a pace and style of work that fits their needs and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can support people balancing work, family responsibilities, recovery needs, or limited local access to licensed professionals.
