About Michael
Michael Malone offers a direct, down-to-earth approach for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. He meets clients without judgment and focuses on practical steps to help them move forward. His style emphasizes the present while using what’s useful from past experience to inform change.
Michael is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida with 16 years of experience. He helps people name what is causing distress, set realistic goals, and build skills to handle current and future challenges. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative rather than confusing or overly clinical.
Issues Michael commonly addresses include anxiety, stress, depression, grief and loss, and problems with self-esteem. He also works with people facing addictions, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, and decisions around adoption and fertility. Men’s issues and feelings of isolation are among his additional focuses.
In sessions he draws on existential ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. That means talking about values and meaning, using present-moment awareness, and identifying small, practical steps that lead to change. Michael tailors the mix to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.
He encourages clients to take modest, achievable steps and to notice progress along the way. Michael welcomes questions about how therapy could fit into someone’s life and what a first session will look like.
How Michael's approaches translate to online therapy
Existential Therapy looks at meaning and values to help people clarify what matters to them and how they want to live. It can be useful for anyone facing life transitions, questions of purpose, or decisions that feel heavy.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm stress. It is often helpful for anxiety, mood regulation, and coping with grief or caregiving strain.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps that create momentum. Sessions focus on what’s already working and how to build on it to reach clear goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person's needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid commute time. Many people find it easier to keep a consistent schedule and apply skills learned in session to everyday situations.
