About Michael
Dr. Michael Black is a Colorado psychologist (CO Psychologist PSY.0001906) with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, and executive coaching needs. He also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career questions, grief, and coping with life changes.
He favors clear, person-focused conversations that help clarify what is happening and what to try next. Sessions include practical strategies and attention to how relationships shape feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas help look at how patterns in relationships affect current difficulties.
Dr. Black draws on a mix of approaches to fit the issue at hand. That might mean working on communication patterns in close relationships, practicing exposure to feared situations, or building routines to manage stress. He explains options in plain language and works together with each person to decide what to try first.
With experience across clinical and coaching settings, he helps people balance daily demands and longer-term goals. Sessions aim to make hard conversations easier and to increase skills for handling setbacks. People who want focused, practical support around anxiety, relationships, or life transitions may find his approach straightforward and action-oriented.
Sessions are provided in English. International clients are accepted, and logistical details are arranged when scheduling the first meeting.
How his approaches translate to online work
Many of the methods Dr. Black uses adapt well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which often involves short exercises and homework that can be discussed and reviewed online. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how past connections shape current reactions, which can be explored through conversation and targeted tasks during video or phone meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on the emotions beneath interaction patterns and helps people practice new ways of responding in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, current situation, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is tracked and needs shift.
The original profile did not specify session formats, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on immediate problems. Phone options can be useful when a shorter, less bandwidth-intensive check-in is best, and video meetings support face-to-face conversation and role-play exercises. These practical benefits help integrate therapy into everyday life while the therapist and client figure out what works best.
