About Michael
Michael Kutosi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He also focuses on forgiveness and self-love in therapy.
Michael trained in social work and theology, and brings that background into practical conversations. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. He treats problems as things people can learn to manage rather than fixed defects.
His approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change habits, including addictive behaviors, by clarifying their own reasons for change.
Solution-focused and narrative techniques are also part of his toolbox. Solution-focused work breaks concerns into small, manageable steps. Narrative methods help people reframe their life stories and separate themselves from problem patterns.
Michael emphasizes collaboration. He sees clients as the experts on their lives and looks for practical next steps between sessions. The work is aimed at clearer choices, better coping, and measurable changes in daily routines.
BHow sessions work
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Many of Michael's methods are practical, skills-based techniques that translate well to remote work. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress. Motivational interviewing concentrates on building a client's own reasons for change and is useful for addressing addictions and increasing readiness for new habits.He also draws on solution-focused and narrative ideas to find quick, actionable steps and to help people reframe their stories. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each person to determine which methods match their goals, preferences, and everyday demands.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and making shorter check-ins possible when that helps. Because the exact session formats are not specified here, confirm current online session options before booking. The emphasis is on workable strategies you can use between appointments to manage stress, change behaviors, and build confidence.
