About Michael
Michael Brackett is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on family and parenting concerns among many other life stresses. He speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for someone juggling parenting duties and daily pressures. Conversations with him center on practical change and deeper understanding rather than quick fixes.
He works from Colorado and offers sessions in English, including options for international clients. Michael takes a collaborative approach that invites curiosity about how past patterns shape present choices.
Background and approach
He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships form and held feelings impact behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps when emotions and connection with others are the main concern. He also draws on existential ideas to help people face meaning, purpose, and life transitions.
His style mixes talk, reflection, and attention to the body and everyday habits. He asks clear questions, helps name patterns, and suggests straightforward steps to try between sessions. Over time those steps add up to different ways of relating to stress, grief, anxiety, or the challenges of parenting.
Michael has about 15 years of clinical work and teaching experience. He has trained in trauma-informed and somatic methods and continues to learn from each person he meets. His LPC credential identifies him as a licensed counselor in Colorado.
Sessions can include video calls, phone work, live chat, or text-based messaging. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, one chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short questionnaire, and schedules based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and daily habits. It helps people notice patterns in how they connect and respond, which can be useful when parenting or managing close relationships.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and connection in relationships. It helps people name feelings, shift negative interaction cycles, and build more supported emotional responses in close partnerships or family dynamics.
Existential Therapy explores meaning, choice, and how people face life transitions. It can help when someone is questioning purpose, coping with major change, or wanting clearer life direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods together in a collaborative way.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and travel while keeping continuity of care with a licensed professional.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
