Michael Brackett, LPC

Michael Brackett is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are struggling with anger as well as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and other life changes. Sessions are in English and he accepts international clients.

He describes therapy as a collaborative, active process. He helps people reconnect with their inner world and notice the patterns that keep them reacting the same way. In sessions he focuses on both thoughts and bodily experience so change is felt as well as understood.

Michael draws on depth-oriented approaches such as Jungian therapy and attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current responses. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to work on closeness and emotional experience in relationships, and existential ideas to address meaning and life purpose.

He has taught psychology at the college level and has spent years working with trauma and somatic approaches. That background shapes how he combines exploration of past wounds with present-moment practices that reduce reactivity and increase self-awareness.

People who come to him for anger often want to stop snapping at loved ones, manage workplace frustration, or reduce the buildup of resentment. Sessions typically include talking through recent moments, noticing bodily signals, and trying new ways of responding between appointments.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button. Subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location.
