About Michael
Michael Bellotti is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with over 40 years of professional experience. He helps people who are coping with stress and anxiety, and those dealing with addictions, relationship and family concerns. He also works with people facing mood challenges, workplace stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
Over his career he has supported people with gambling and other addictive behaviors. He talks through relationship difficulties including separation and divorce, problems with control or impulsivity, and issues around intimacy and communication. He pays attention to how everyday stress and work pressures affect mood and behavior.
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in plain language. He focuses on practical ways to manage anxiety, reduce impulsive responses, and improve interactions with others. Sessions tend to emphasize skill-building, clearer communication, and learning ways to handle triggers that lead to addictive behavior.
People who prefer direct, steady guidance may find his approach useful. He encourages honest conversation and helps people set small, achievable goals. The therapist aims to be straightforward about options and next steps rather than offering quick fixes.
Michael accepts international clients and conducts work from New York. If someone is considering starting, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to decide on goals and practical steps forward.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are at the center of his practice. One common approach focuses on teaching practical skills to manage anxiety and reduce avoidance, helping people face feared social situations in small, manageable steps. Another approach targets addictive behavior by identifying triggers, changing unhelpful habits, and building alternative coping strategies. These descriptions reflect general methods and do not imply specific certifications.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. Sessions begin with assessing what feels most important and then try methods that can be adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.
