Dr. Michael Bryan, LCPC, LPC - Therapist in Arizona

About Michael

Dr. Michael Bryan is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. He holds a doctorate of education in counseling psychology and practices in Arizona.

He describes a warm, interactive style and brings a faith-informed perspective to sessions when clients prefer it. He focuses on a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, coping with life changes, relationship and family issues, parenting, and attention-related challenges. He also addresses eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career matters, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Other areas of attention include adoption and foster care, fatherhood issues, and midlife transitions. His methods draw from cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused work. In practice that means practical tools are taught alongside listening and reflection.

Sessions often involve setting clear goals and trying small, manageable steps between meetings. Dr. Bryan adapts the pace and focus to each person.

He aims to build straightforward plans that feel doable at home. Parents who are worried about behavior, routines, or family stress will find an emphasis on clear strategies and steady support. He offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Fees vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while also learning to notice hard thoughts without getting stuck in them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors; it is practical for mood, anxiety, sleep, and some addiction-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes attentive listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own solutions and develop confidence.

Choosing which method to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust as progress is seen. That helps ensure sessions feel relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This allows scheduling around work, school, or parenting demands and makes it easier to keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and assign small between-session steps so work continues outside the appointment.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
