About Michael
Michael Morris is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with five years of professional experience. He works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. His listed concerns include LGBT issues, relationship and parenting challenges, self-esteem, and attention difficulties such as ADHD.
He also addresses concerns around body image, communication problems, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and life purpose. Sexuality and sexual dysfunction are among his stated areas of focus. Michael names social anxiety, panic attacks, and questions about non-monogamous relationships as topics he will talk through with clients.
In sessions he treats the person as the expert on their story. He helps people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to face current challenges. Conversations are aimed at identifying practical steps rather than making broad promises about outcomes.
Michael emphasizes motivation, confidence, and clearer decision making. He supports people who want to rethink priorities after a job change, breakup, or other life transition. Work often includes talking through patterns in relationships and finding small, manageable changes that fit daily life.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided from his California practice. Michael uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online sessions
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on actionable skills and clearer thinking. One common approach works on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and self-doubt; this is useful for social anxiety, panic, and low self-esteem. Another approach emphasizes behavioral changes and practice - setting small experiments or tasks to shift routines, improve focus for ADHD, or test new communication habits in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adjust them as needed.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when appropriate, and avoid travel time. They can also accommodate people who prefer not to use video on some days or who need sessions that match a flexible schedule.
