01About Michael
Michael Rooney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado. He focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and life changes. He draws on a long career to offer practical, goal-focused support in a straightforward way.
Rooney uses a mix of approaches that emphasize the client's needs and clear skills practice. He leans on cognitive behavioral methods to name patterns and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
He also uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s experience before suggesting steps forward. With 24 years of experience, he has worked with a wide range of concerns and people. His background includes helping those with chronic pain and illness, neurological injuries, developmental and intellectual differences, and military-related issues.
He aims to match his strategies to each person’s situation instead of offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions combine practical exercises with conversation. That may mean learning new coping skills, trying different ways to think about a problem, or practicing communication techniques.
The emphasis is on small, usable changes that build over time. People who prefer a direct, task-oriented style often find this approach helpful. Rooney offers multiple session formats and supports clients who want steady progress toward clear goals.

04Online support
How his methods translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. Online sessions use that same attention to help clients feel heard and to shape treatment around their goals. This approach is helpful for people who want a collaborative, respectful space to work through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. In video or phone sessions the therapist can introduce exercises, worksheets, and behavioral experiments to practice between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems because it gives concrete steps to try.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events. Online work can include pacing, grounding techniques, and gradual processing tailored to what a person can tolerate. This approach aims to reduce symptoms and improve coping after traumatic experiences.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest a plan to try. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback come in, so treatment can change over time.
Online formats offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and share materials, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
