About Michael
Michael Ecuyer is an LCSW with 33 years of experience who uses a practical, coaching-minded approach to therapy. He focuses on helping people move past obstacles that block daily life and long-term goals. He speaks plain language and aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative effort rather than a lecture.
He draws on client-centered methods to place each person’s priorities at the center of sessions. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new patterns. Emotionally-focused work helps when relationships and attachment issues are central concerns.
Michael has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. He also helps with addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and blended family challenges, and coping with life changes. His experience includes supporting people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness, cancer, and codependency issues.
He regularly addresses work and career stress, communication and control issues, and problems tied to abandonment, adoption, and attachment. He lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among his focus areas as well. Michael frames sessions around practical steps and clear goals that fit each person’s situation.
Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused. He offers phone and text contact and sometimes video when preferred. People looking to begin are invited to follow the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a time.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s lead and set goals that feel useful in daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it often includes short exercises and skill work between meetings that transfer well to online formats. Emotionally-focused therapy looks at patterns in relationships and attachment. In remote sessions this can help couples or individuals notice interaction cycles and practice new responses together.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients often mix methods across sessions as issues shift or as some tools prove more helpful than others.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and keeping continuity when life is disrupted. Video may be useful for face-to-face interaction while phone or text can offer shorter check-ins or less bandwidth use. The exact session formats for this therapist should be confirmed before booking so you know what options are currently offered.
