About Michael
Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Wyoming with 26 years of clinical experience. He lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping issues, parenting, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes among his areas of focus.
He began practicing in 2002 in Georgia and became licensed in Wyoming in 2012. Early work included crisis response and resolution along with intake assessment and treatment planning. That groundwork led to a steady practice offering both individual and group sessions over many years.
His approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral methods. In practical terms this means listening to what a person wants to change, then using clear, structured steps to build different thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when they fit the goals.
Michael has experience addressing impulse control, coping skills for anxiety and depression, decision-making, and organizational skills. He has worked with chronic pain management and people who have had severe psychotic symptoms, alongside more common concerns like sleep, eating, and substance use patterns.
In session he focuses on measurable goals and improving strengths that already exist. People are guided toward increased self-reliance and clearer decision-making skills. He works collaboratively to set concrete steps and track progress over time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Michael blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and mindfulness techniques when helpful. Client-centered work focuses on listening to what a person wants to change and building a plan around those goals. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses structured exercises to try different responses. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose strategies and adjust them as progress is tracked over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people try methods such as CBT exercises or mindfulness practice between meetings, which supports steady skill building without promising a particular outcome.
