About Michael

Michael Fronk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. He also addresses relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and family problems.

Michael uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. He draws on client-centered and attachment-based ideas to build trust and clarify goals. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and small steps that can be used between meetings.

People meet him to talk about family of origin issues, commitment and communication problems, codependency, and problems tied to substance use. He also works with people facing abandonment, control issues, or feelings of emptiness. Michael includes strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when those approaches fit the concern.

Expect a direct, problem-solving style that aims to make daily life more manageable. Michael helps clients identify patterns, test new behaviors, and track progress over time. He uses short-term skills and longer conversations depending on what each person needs.

Sessions look at real-world demands such as work, relationships, and parenting strain. Michael encourages practical ways to reduce stress and improve communication. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the fit feels right.

BHow sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use discussion and exercises to identify these patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centered work focuses on the client's goals and perspective, letting the therapist follow the client's lead and support practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful cycles; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Michael will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest which approaches to try first. That plan can change as sessions reveal what is most useful, so clients help shape the path forward.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, a quiet morning, or a short check-in after work. It can also reduce travel time and let people use homework tools and worksheets between meetings. Talk with the therapist during the initial scheduling step about how you want sessions to fit into your routine and which approaches feel most helpful.
