01About Michael
Michael Brackett offers a calm, clear place for people dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, relationship struggles, and questions about identity and purpose. He aims to help people notice the patterns that keep them stuck and find ways to feel more steady and alive in daily life.
He uses ideas from Jungian therapy and attachment work to help people understand their inner world and close relationships. Emotion-focused and existential ideas guide conversations about meaning, loss, and how to make choices that match who someone wants to be.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and often include reflection on feelings, dreams, and life stories. Michael emphasizes experience as well as thought. He brings attention to bodily experience and creative expression so change can be felt and not only talked about.
That can mean simple movement, breathing, or imaginative exercises during a session. He has 15 years of experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC. He has also taught psychology at the college level and has focused much of his work on trauma, grief, and identity concerns.
People can expect a collaborative, active process that balances curiosity with practical steps. Michael encourages clients to notice small shifts, try new behaviors between sessions, and reflect on what makes life feel more meaningful. His style is thoughtful and grounded, with a focus on helping people live with more honesty and courage.

04Online support
Online therapy with attachment and emotion-focused care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships. It focuses on safety in connection and learning new ways to ask for and receive support. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets feelings in the moment and helps people name, stay with, and shift key emotions that drive relationship behavior. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility, and it helps people facing loss, identity questions, and life transitions to find a clearer sense of direction.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and exercises fit their needs and goals. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it simpler to schedule work around busy days and to keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
