Michael MacKinnon is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and mood concerns. He provides straightforward support for those wanting clearer direction, fewer overwhelming days, and better emotional balance. He focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

04Online support
Evidence-based techniques delivered online
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-world change. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new, healthier responses; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and social avoidance. Another frequently used approach centers on building coping strategies for cravings, impulse control, and emotional regulation, which is helpful for addictions and mood instability.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods, and adjust work as progress and preferences become clear. That collaboration helps shape which techniques are used and how sessions are structured over time.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for people who prefer writing, need brief check-ins, or want flexible timing. These options make it easier to keep consistent work and fit therapy into busy lives.
