More about Michael
- 4 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a combat veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 4 years of professional experience—first as a peer support specialist and now as an LCSW. I also hold a Master of Public Health from the University of North Carolina and have conducted extensive research on social determinants of health to better understand the unique challenges veterans face in North Carolina.
Through this work, I have gained a deeper understanding that we all encounter circumstances beyond our control. However, through my own self-work, I have come to realize that each of us has the strength and resilience to overcome life’s challenges and build healthy, meaningful lives.
I have experience helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and major life transitions. While we all face unique obstacles, I firmly believe that you possess the strength to overcome almost anything you set your mind to. My goal is to help you identify and leverage those strengths so that you can lead a life filled with happiness and fulfillment.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
