Michael Schwing, LCSW

Michael Schwing is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, low self-esteem, career questions and major life changes. He also supports clients dealing with caregiver stress, commitment or communication problems, control issues, sexual and relationship concerns, and questions about life purpose.

He frames sessions around straightforward conversation and practical steps. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Michael aims to adapt the discussion and plan to the issue at hand. That might mean short-term, solution-focused work for a specific decision. It can also mean addressing longer-standing patterns that affect mood and relationships. He pays attention to motivation and helps people find manageable next steps.

Sessions often include setting small goals, testing new approaches between meetings, and reviewing what works. He also addresses practical concerns such as navigating grief, coping after a loss, or recovering from infidelity. The tone is direct and pragmatic rather than abstract.

People who are feeling stuck after a job change, a breakup, a health event, or a caregiving strain may find this approach useful. Michael works in Florida and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling process to arrange an initial meeting.
