01About Michael
Michael Schneider is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with 22 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and the strain of life changes. He also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, men’s issues, and finding life purpose.
He favors short-term, solution-focused work that aims for clear, practical change. Sessions often focus on small steps and behavior changes that add up over time. He pays attention to strengths clients already have and builds on those resources.
Background and approach
Michael uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He combines that with solution-focused techniques to set realistic goals and try specific strategies between sessions. The approach is straightforward and action-oriented rather than long-term talk therapy.
In sessions he aims to be direct while remaining respectful, helping clients hear difficult feedback in a way they can use. He believes lasting change comes from accepting what is true and taking manageable action. He also looks at basic lifestyle factors like sleep, movement, and nutrition as part of improving mood.
People who prefer clear goals, practical steps, and measurable progress tend to fit his style well. Michael generally guides clients toward small, doable habits and tracks how those shifts affect mood and daily life. He works in English and practices across a broad range of mood and stress-related concerns.

04Online support
How these approaches work online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, actions, and feelings. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and next steps, using brief strategies to create momentum and small wins that change daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will review your concerns and personal goals and suggest techniques that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the plan over time if something feels off or you want a different pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text works well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or steady support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
