Michael Keller

Michael Keller is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with three decades of experience. He focuses on clear, practical work to help people who struggle with addictions, relationship problems, low self-esteem, career setbacks, depression, trauma, anger, bipolar symptoms, and coaching around life goals. He aims to be direct and respectful, helping people move toward useful change without wasting time.

He combines plain conversation with structured methods to fit each person’s situation. Michael draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, client-centered approaches, and the Gottman Method when relationships are a central concern. He looks at psychological, social, biological, and spiritual factors to build a plan that makes sense for each individual.

Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer decision making, and reducing unhelpful patterns. He often helps people identify values, change thinking that gets in the way, and practice new behaviors between sessions. Michael describes his style as straightforward, compassionate, and goal-oriented.

He asks simple questions to clarify what matters most and then chooses tools that fit those goals. People who want a therapist who gets to the point while still treating them with sensitivity may find his approach useful.

Michael recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and supports people through that first step. He works in English and is licensed as an LMHC in Florida.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for issues like addiction, depression, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior patterns that keep problems going; it is practical for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which supports work on anger, trauma aftereffects, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Treatment can be adjusted over time based on what helps most, and choices are made together rather than imposed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or making it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. The focus online is the same as in person: clear goals, practical tools, and regular steps toward change.
