About Michael

Michael Robinson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with eight years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and gender-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical, everyday problems.

Michael uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people make changes that matter. He draws on attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Emotionally-focused ideas help bring clarity to tense interactions in relationships.

In session he encourages clear, goal-oriented conversations. People can expect to talk through recent events, notice recurring patterns, and try small behavior changes between meetings. He also supports clients dealing with issues related to gender identity and HIV/AIDS as listed in his focus areas.

Michael has experience addressing abandonment and attachment issues, avoidant personality patterns, blended family concerns, and problems tied to cancer or chronic illness. He also works with topics such as commitment, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, and substance use concerns.

His practical approach includes grounding techniques drawn from mindfulness to reduce stress and build moment-to-moment coping skills. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to change substance use or other habits but feel stuck. The aim is steady progress through small, usable steps.

BHow sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Michael uses attachment-based therapy to look at how past relationships influence current interactions; this helps when people want to change how they relate in close partnerships. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors, which suits problems like anxiety and some addiction-related patterns. A client-centered stance keeps the conversation focused on the person's goals and priorities rather than a rigid protocol.

Deciding which approach to use is a cooperative process. Michael will discuss your concerns, try different techniques early on, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Expect clear discussions about goals, short practical exercises, and regular check-ins on progress so the approach fits your needs.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm the current options before booking. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and medical schedules. They can also allow for shorter check-ins, telephone conversations when bandwidth is limited, or video meetings when visual cues are useful. The focus is on helping therapy slot into everyday life in a way that supports steady, practical progress.
