Michael Malone, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Michael

Michael Malone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on family and parenting concerns among other life challenges. He speaks plainly and meets people where they are, helping them take small, clear steps toward change. He aims to make counseling feel understandable and manageable for a worried parent looking for direction.

He brings 16 years of experience to sessions and listens first to learn what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

Michael uses present-focused work while also tracing past events when those memories help clarify current patterns. Together with each person he sets practical goals and builds skills to handle today’s problems and future bumps in the road. Michael draws from several approaches to tailor sessions to individual needs.

He blends elements from existential therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques so the work can be both reflective and action oriented. Sessions may include short exercises, focused conversation, and steps to try between meetings. Areas he commonly addresses include anxiety, stress, depression, grief, parenting topics, relationship and family issues, infertility and adoption decisions, compassion fatigue, and mood or attention concerns.

He also supports people facing career stress and major life transitions. His style is nonjudgmental and collaborative. A parent or family member can expect clear communication, straightforward goals, and practical strategies to try at home.

Michael aims to help people move from feeling stuck to making steady progress.

Therapy approaches you can try online

Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choices, and values. It’s useful when life feels uncertain or when major decisions and identity questions are central concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and calm the mind, which can help with anxiety, stress, and mood swings. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps and on what changes a person wants to see next; it is often helpful when people want concrete strategies and quicker progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus more on meaning, present-moment skills, or short-term solutions, and they adjust the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule and to keep momentum between meetings. The variety of formats also allows people to pick the way of communicating that feels most comfortable and practical for their life.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
