About Michael
Michael Keller is a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 30 years of clinical experience. He focuses on addictions, relationships, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, and life coaching. He works directly and practically to address the problems people bring to therapy.
Clients can expect straightforward sessions that move quickly to the issues that matter. He combines talk therapy with practical exercises and goal-focused steps. Conversations often cover what is getting in the way of daily functioning, relationships, or career progress.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness-based techniques. Those methods are used to build clearer choices, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and practice new behaviors between meetings.
Michael has long experience helping people with addictions and relationship breakdowns. He also works with concerns such as caregiver stress, communication problems, codependency, fatherhood issues, and feelings of emptiness or shame. He aims to be practical about next steps rather than offering abstract theory.
Sessions include talking through current problems, planning small experiments or changes to try between sessions, and reviewing what did or didn’t work. He asks direct questions, provides reflection, and helps identify concrete options for change.
To begin, people are encouraged to use the site's online matching process and schedule an initial appointment to talk about immediate concerns and goals.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can help with anxiety, depression, and impulse-driven problems.Finding which method fits best is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to match approaches to their goals, circumstances, and preferences. That process usually begins in the first few meetings and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. For people juggling work, caregiving, or health issues, that flexibility can make attending regular sessions more practical.
