Michael Keller, LMHC

Michael Keller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. He draws on three decades of experience to help people address addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career challenges, depression, trauma, anger, and bipolar mood concerns. He aims to get to the heart of the problem efficiently and respectfully. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation so clients feel they are making usable progress. He approaches people with sensitivity and compassion while keeping work focused and goal-oriented. Michael pays attention to the full picture - psychological, social, biological, and spiritual factors that shape a person's experience. He adapts the dialogue and plan to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. That means conversations and exercises vary depending on what a client needs most. His practice includes helping with drug and alcohol addiction, codependency, communication problems, caregiving stress, grief over divorce or separation, fatherhood issues, and feelings of emptiness or shame. He also offers coaching-style support for motivation and career transitions. Starting therapy is often a hard step, and Michael acknowledges that courage. He encourages people to begin with a short matching process and schedule a first session, where goals and a clear plan are typically laid out.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and choose actions based on values rather than chasing short-term relief. It can help with addiction patterns, depression, and getting unstuck. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy to help people feel understood and find their own solutions; it is useful for relationship and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which often helps with mood, anxiety, and relapse prevention. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michael will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Early sessions typically clarify priorities and try one or two techniques to see what fits. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit sessions into a busy week. It also allows for quick check-ins, homework review, or guided exercises that people can use between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, client-centered listening, and CBT to work in remote sessions while focusing on practical steps you can apply right away.
