More about Mike
- 10 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a marriage and family therapist. Licensed in the state of Montana, I’ve spent over around ten years helping people improve their relationships and lives. I’ve worked with nearly every age group and multiple demographics. I worked five years at the center for mental health. This was followed by nearly five years of working in public schools. During my time at each of those places, I assisted people dealing with loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and many other issues and challenges.
I enjoy being warm and inviting and believe all people have worth and value. All people make mistakes and struggle. You, me and everyone. If I can work with someone to help them solve their most pressing challenges, that’s what I hope and desire to do. I combine multiple therapy modalities; Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy and Gestalt therapy.
We’re people working through this life. If I can help someone else make it a little more doable than that’s my desire and goal.
Let’s work together to get through those obstacles.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Mike is fantastic! I went through a few therapists before him and just didn’t have a connection or find much benefit. Every session with Mike I walk away with several eye opening notes written down.
