Michael Keller, LMHC

Michael Keller is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with three decades of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship concerns alongside addictions, self-esteem, career questions, depression, trauma, and anger. He aims to get to the heart of problems efficiently while treating people with respect and compassion.

He draws on straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions look at psychological, social, biological, and spiritual sides of life to shape a plan that fits. Michael keeps language plain and practical so people understand the steps they can take next.

Over his career he has helped people work on motivation, confidence, and problem areas that affect daily life. He also supports those coping with bipolar symptoms, substance issues, and recovery from abuse. His work includes helping people sort out communication, commitment, and codependency struggles.

Michael uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches, together with mindfulness and relationship-focused methods. He adapts those approaches to each person rather than following a single script. This lets sessions focus on concrete changes and better patterns of relating.

He asks new clients to take a first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability. Michael notes that therapy takes courage and he tries to make the process direct and respectful from the first visit.

Therapy approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then commit to actions that match their values; it can help with relationship choices, addiction struggles, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new responses; it is often useful for depression, anxiety, and anger. The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving communication and resolving conflict between partners, with clear skills people can practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the focus and techniques as you learn what works best.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to use video or phone when that suits your schedule, and lets people practice new communication skills at home between meetings.
