About Michael

Michael Malone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 16 years of clinical experience. He helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps. He focuses on clear, practical goals and meeting clients where they are without judgment.

Michael keeps sessions focused on the present while using past events when they help explain current patterns. He works side by side with clients to identify realistic steps and develop skills for everyday life.

Background and approach

Simple, concrete strategies are emphasized so progress can be noticed between sessions. His practice covers a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue. ADHD is listed among his focus areas for people wanting support with attention and organization struggles alongside other life challenges.

Michael draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning and direction, uses mindfulness to build awareness and calm, and applies solution-focused techniques to create fast, practical changes. He adapts these approaches to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward.

Michael encourages clients to set small, measurable goals and to practice new skills between meetings. The overall goal is to help people feel more capable of handling current problems and future stresses.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Existential Therapy helps people clarify personal values and life direction when they feel lost or stuck; it focuses on meaning, choice, and responsibility and can be useful for big life decisions or transitions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety or stress in daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small changes that build momentum toward the goals a person names.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will talk with clients about their concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest ways to combine these approaches in a plan that makes sense for each person. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what’s working and what isn’t.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support, and these options help people arrange sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
