About Michael

Michael Dubi is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 27 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He aims to create a respectful and compassionate environment where parents and caregivers can talk through tough moments and find steadier footing.

He adapts conversations and plans to each family's situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication to reduce daily tension.

Background and approach

Michael emphasizes emotional safety and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Over nearly three decades he has worked with people facing attachment concerns, body image struggles, control issues, divorce and separation, men’s issues, midlife challenges, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia. That range informs how he notices patterns and offers options that fit your life.

Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and shapes them to what feels useful for each person. He listens for what matters most to you and helps set manageable goals. The goal is steady, practical change that helps families feel more capable.

Taking the first step can feel hard. He offers supportive guidance while parents sort priorities and decide next steps. The focus is on helping families build clearer communication and more reliable routines.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Evidence-based techniques form the backbone of his work, chosen to fit each family’s needs. One common approach focuses on skills training - teaching clear communication, stress management, and ways to calm panic symptoms. This helps people handle stressful moments and improve daily routines.

A second approach emphasizes trauma-informed care - paying attention to how past events affect current reactions and safety in relationships. That method helps people reduce reactivity and build simpler steps toward feeling more stable.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person or parent about goals and preferences and then try approaches that match those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helpful in real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let therapists observe interactions and coach communication in real time. Phone sessions are useful when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into a family schedule while keeping the focus on practical progress.
