About Michael
Michael Fentress is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida (LMHC) and a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing depression, addiction, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and intended for people living in the United States.
Michael focuses on straightforward, practical help rather than jargon. He listens for patterns that fuel recurring problems, then helps people try new responses. Common topics include handling strong emotions, repairing hurt in relationships, and managing the fallout from trauma or life transitions.
His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action even when feelings are intense. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) guide work on relationship patterns and emotional connection.
Clients who reach out often want concrete tools for day-to-day living. Michael helps people build skills for stress, anger, and mood swings, and he supports those working through identity and intimacy concerns. He also addresses career stress, caregiver strain, and co-occurring issues like ADHD or chronic illness.
To begin, the site’s process asks for a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling of an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits
Michael commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT focuses on noticing inner experiences, clarifying what matters, and taking actions that align with those values even when feelings are strong. CBT helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches step-by-step skills to change them.He also draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand how relationship patterns shape emotional reactions. That perspective can be useful when anger shows up around closeness, trust, or past hurts. Together, these approaches help with anger linked to relationships, trauma, or daily stressors.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, what has helped or not helped in the past, and preferences for practical exercises versus relational work. That conversation guides which methods are tried first and how sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper relational or trauma work. The focus is on making therapy fit around everyday life while testing approaches that address anger, stress, and relationship patterns.
