About Michael
Michael Dautrich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 32 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, grief, and parenting strain.
He offers straightforward, practical therapy for everyday problems. Sessions focus on talking through immediate concerns, improving coping skills, and finding steps that fit a person's life. He uses clear strategies rather than vague techniques, and he draws on a mix of approaches to match the issue at hand.
Michael spent much of his career working in state mental health services and brings that system-level experience into individual work. He has run both individual and group therapy and understands common pressures from work, family, and caregiving roles.
In sessions he often uses client-centered methods to follow what the person says matters most. He also uses cognitive-behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals. Mindfulness practices may be introduced when helpful for stress and grounding.
People who choose him can expect a practical, task-oriented style that links therapy to daily life. He accepts international clients and conducts work from New York. To start, the typical next step is completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial appointment.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Michael often uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy online. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely to what matters most and helps shape sessions around that. It can help with relationship strains, grief, and broad life stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will review goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods over time. That collaborative planning helps pick which techniques to try first and how to measure progress.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins between longer appointments, to schedule sessions around work or caregiving, and to use written or video tools during sessions when helpful.
