About Michael
Dr. Michael Bryan is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience based in Arizona. He holds a doctorate of education in counseling psychology. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes.
His practice addresses a wide range of issues including parenting and fatherhood concerns, adoption and foster care matters, coping with trauma and abuse, and challenges like anger, hoarding, and substance use. He also helps people who are navigating career questions, midlife change, money worries, and struggles around intimacy and self-esteem.
Dr. Bryan describes his style as interactive and conservative with a Christian perspective. Sessions generally focus on practical steps and clear goals. Conversations aim to identify what is getting in the way and then try approaches that can change daily patterns.
He uses several evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. These approaches are applied in simple ways, for example practicing different responses to anxious thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and tracking progress week to week.

How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Bryan often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in his meetings. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on noticing thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce distress, which is useful for anxiety, mood, and coping problems. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify values and take small actions even when uncomfortable feelings remain, which can help with avoidance and social fears.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He aims to collaborate with clients to pick methods that match a person's goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan over several sessions.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the session formats offered before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work or family obligations, having shorter check-ins when needed, and choosing whether to use video or audio based on what feels manageable. Therapists can use the same CBT exercises, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practices in online meetings as they do in person, helping integrate change into everyday life.
