About Michael
Michael Robinson is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Louisiana with eight years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender concerns. He also addresses issues connected to attachment, abandonment, commitment, communication, and challenges tied to illness such as cancer or HIV/AIDS.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what feels stuck and what practical steps might help. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships and behavior. Michael uses methods that look at emotions, thoughts, and how people connect with others.
He draws on attachment-based ideas to name long-running patterns that affect current relationships. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Emotionally-focused work helps when relationship hurts or trust problems are central.
Michael pays attention to substance use and recovery concerns and brings motivational interviewing tools when people are deciding whether to change drinking or drug use. He will also address issues around gender dysphoria and the stress that can come with identity and medical concerns.
Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. Michael will talk through specific goals and steps, then review how those changes are going over time. To begin, people use the site matching process and schedule a first appointment after completing a short questionnaire.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns still affect current connections. Online sessions can help identify those patterns, name triggers, and try new ways of relating that reduce repeated conflict and abandonment fears.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and experience. In practical terms this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what is happening, and uses that understanding to guide goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches ways to notice and test thoughts that make stress or anxiety worse, and to practice different responses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences, and adjust over time based on what works. That decision is made together rather than assumed in advance.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current session options are listed on the sign-up pages.

These practical benefits can make it easier to keep regular appointments and focus on steady progress.
