About Michael
Michael Bohman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with 40 years of experience. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related issues.
He began his career in diverse clinical settings and has supported people facing mental health and substance use challenges. He has long experience addressing domestic violence and trauma, and he has worked with clients across many stages of life. He also lists ADHD, bipolar, and parenting concerns among his practice areas.
For decades he has served as a clinical supervisor and consultant. That background informs a practical approach to casework, program development, and training. He describes using recovery-oriented ideas when helping people make changes related to substance use or addictive behaviors.
Michael uses several therapy approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions typically focus on clear, manageable goals and skills people can use between meetings.
He sees issues such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and communication problems as part of everyday life stressors. He also lists fatherhood issues, men's concerns, life purpose, and coping after disasters among his additional focuses.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. The practice operates with a subscription-style fee model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Michael uses therapy approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people clarify what matters to them. It is useful when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make decisions about next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and behavior. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and can help with stress, impulsive behavior, and grounding after trauma.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods over time if something is not working. Clients and the clinician together pick strategies based on needs, preferences, and day-to-day life demands.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session types before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If a phone session is chosen, it can be useful when a lower bandwidth option or a simpler check-in is preferred. Ask during intake which formats are available and how they could fit into your routine.
