About Michael
Michael Jankowski is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMSW, LCSW) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and LGBT-related issues. He also addresses areas such as attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, caregiving strain, and challenges linked to illness and end-of-life care.
In sessions he takes a direct, person-focused stance. He listens first, then helps clients set practical goals. Conversations often center on what feels most urgent and what small changes can improve day-to-day functioning. He uses clear, evidence-based techniques to help people test new behaviors and reshape unhelpful thinking.
Michael uses several familiar therapeutic methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused steps. Those techniques are used to address mood, coping with stress, relationship patterns, and motivation. He adapts the approach to the problem at hand rather than sticking to a single method.
He brings experience with topics some people find sensitive, including kink and alternative sex culture, HIV/AIDS, grief and hospice care, and infidelity. He also helps people sort through family conflict, divorce, and feelings of emptiness or shame. Sessions are practical and task-oriented when that helps move things forward.
For people who want straightforward, experienced social work support, Michael balances listening with clear next steps. Prospective clients are encouraged to review session options and scheduling details before booking.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of him. Online sessions using this approach center on the client's goals and preferences and on building a practical plan that fits daily life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In teletherapy CBT is often used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioral experiments between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness therapy teaches basic awareness skills such as focused breathing and noticing sensations. These practices can help with stress and emotional regulation and are easily practiced between online meetings.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and pace. He adjusts plans as progress or obstacles appear so the work remains practical and focused.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available session options before booking so they fit your schedule and technical needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time so therapy integrates with work, caregiving, and health commitments.
