About Michael

Michael Johnson SR is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with eight years of professional experience. He focuses on relationship and family concerns and helps people who want better control of anger, or who are facing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.

He keeps sessions straightforward and direct. Conversations look at what is happening now and what practical changes could reduce conflict and tension. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of reacting when stress or frustration flares.

Michael uses several well-known approaches to guide work in session. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that feed anger and from Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person’s goals. Mindfulness techniques may be used to increase awareness of physical and emotional signals that come before a flare-up.

Sessions often include setting small, doable goals between meetings. He helps people practice new responses and then reviews what worked. For those juggling parenting, career pressures, or caregiving for older relatives, the focus is on realistic steps that fit into daily life.

People who contact him can expect a practical tone and an emphasis on skills that reduce frustration and improve communication. He works in English and provides services to people in Texas. Confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working around a person's goals. Online sessions using this approach keep conversations focused on what matters to the client and on practicing better communication and decision-making.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT can be used to spot unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and track progress between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help people notice the signs of rising anger before it escalates.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That discussion guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are paced, so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - shorter check-ins, meetings during lunch breaks, or avoiding travel to an office. These practical benefits help keep progress steady while working on anger, communication, and stress management.
