Michael Graul, LPCC, LPC - Therapist in Ohio

Michael Graul is a licensed counselor offering support for people facing depression, anxiety, and the lingering effects of trauma.

01About Michael

Michael Graul is a licensed counselor offering support for people facing depression, anxiety, and the lingering effects of trauma. He guides clients through practical steps to challenge painful beliefs and slowly build healthier ways of thinking. He practices with a calm, straightforward manner that focuses on small, useful changes.

He helps people identify the thoughts that keep them stuck - like feeling to blame or not good enough - and tries to replace those patterns with kinder, clearer views of themselves.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding where those thoughts came from and on tools to cope day to day. The work is gradual and concrete, not rushed. Over seven years of practice inform his approach, and he draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions and measure progress.

Michael holds LPCC and LPC credentials and practices from Ohio. He accepts clients internationally and runs sessions in English. People who come for help often want relief from intense stress, post-traumatic reactions, or persistent shame and guilt.

He also addresses issues related to cancer, forgiveness, men's concerns, and self-love in therapy conversations. Michael encourages realistic goals and steady steps rather than quick fixes. To begin, he asks people to reflect on what they want to change and to commit to trying new ways of responding.

The process is collaborative, with attention to what works for each person. He aims to make therapy a place to slow down, make sense of experience, and plan forward.

Practical approaches for online therapy and healing

Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and build coping skills. One approach focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts that drive depression and anxiety, helping people test beliefs and try alternative ways of thinking. Another approach centers on processing the impact of traumatic experiences by naming reactions, understanding triggers, and developing steady grounding strategies for daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust strategies as progress is made. Clients take an active role in deciding what feels most useful from session to session.

If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling. They also let people use quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins, or audio-only options when that suits their needs. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions used in person to an online setting to keep momentum and practice skills between sessions.
