More about Michael

  • 26 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wyoming since 2012. I began my practice in 2002 while residing in Georgia. I have been active in crisis response/resolution, initial diagnostics/treatment planning, individual and group therapies focusing on impulse control, depression/anxiety coping skills, decision - making/organizational skills. I have worked with issues involving chronic pain management and severe psychotic symptoms management.

I utilize a client - centered and directed cognitive - behavioral approach with my clients. The cornerstone of my collaboration is an empathetic identification of the client's desire to increase/decrease behaviors, manage complex emotional stressors effectively, and enhance decision - making skills while encouraging self - reliance with confidence.

I look forward to meeting my clients and strive to achieve clinically measurable and satisfying goals while enhancing desired strengths and abilities!

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Michael is an amazing therapist. He strikes a perfect balance of listening, interpreting concerns and dilemmas, and offering up relevant and targeted information. Michael is thoughtful and deliberate with the advice he shares. He creates a safe space to be honest and vulnerable.

I highly recommend Mr Witham. He explains things without condescension. I have come to better understand others' motives from an outside perspective. I find less shame in identifying my needs. This helps me to adjust my expectations of others and identify areas where I could help others adjust their expectations of me. I would be lost without these skills to help me navigate serious and long term health complications.

This is the personal communication I’ve needed. I was kind of too proud to try therapy. I didn’t want to believe that I couldn’t fix my problems on my own. Talking with Michael had been a great help to me because it makes me accountable for the decisions I make and he knows the right way to work on the issues I’m facing! It’s very good to talk to a knowledgeable professional instead of just trying to figure things out for my own. Michael is a good man and he cares for his patients. I would definitely recommend!

Reviewed January 2022

Michael is by far the best therapist I've ever had. Even though, I was a bit reserved with him in the beginning - I stuck with the therapy and it paid off. I can hear actually still hear his suggestions in my mind and have found practical ways to incorporate his strategies into my life. He always was reassuring and forgiving even though I struggled to fulfill the tasks. But I think I can imagine that doing the worksheets he suggested would have been certainly helpful! That being said, as a good student, I took notes and tried my best to follow through. Takeaways: Mindfulness Focused Breathing Going to your 'happy place' Making your environment as pleasurable as possible (especially for difficult tasks, conversations or situations) ex. the 5 senses - nice smells, sounds, visuals Lowering your expectations Set goals of 3-5 tasks for a week (not 10 for every day) Getting outside and away from distractions Beyond this, I have really found that him to be a gentleman. Always professional, never condescending. This intelligent yet unpretentious quality is absolute gold. I will return for his support in the near future, should I need it!
