About Michael
Michael Brackett, LPC, supports people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps. He focuses on challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, grief, addiction, codependency, and questions about identity and purpose. Michael writes and teaches about psychological and soulful ways to make lasting change, and he brings a steady, curious presence to sessions.
He frames healing as a process of remembering and reconnecting with what already exists inside a person. Sessions are collaborative and active. Michael blends Jungian ideas about meaning and symbolism with attachment-informed work to look at how early patterns influence current relationships.
He also uses emotionally focused ideas to help people clarify and shift how they express and respond to feelings in close relationships. Existential perspectives show up when clients need help naming values, making choices, or coping with big life questions. This mix supports both emotional insight and practical changes in daily life.
Michael has 15 years of experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Colorado. He has taught psychology at the college level and has ongoing training in trauma-related and somatic approaches. His background informs a style that attends to thoughts, feelings, bodily experience, and meaning-making.
People who come to him can expect a thoughtful listener who asks direct questions, offers concrete practices, and helps them notice recurring patterns. He works with individuals on matters like attachment, communication problems, commitment issues, loneliness, and reclaiming a sense of purpose.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current ways of relating. It looks at recurring patterns in relationships and helps people form new, healthier ways of connecting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful emotional cycles in close relationships by naming feelings and changing interactional responses. Existential Therapy invites people to name values, face uncertainty, and make meaning when life feels confusing or empty.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, personality, and current struggles. Together they can try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many find it simpler to keep regular appointments and bring material from daily life into sessions. Confirm the available session formats when you schedule so you know what to expect.
