About Michael
Michael MacKinnon is an LPC with ten years of counseling experience. He helps people work toward clearer goals, stronger relationships, and healthier daily routines. He speaks English and welcomes international clients.
He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, and family concerns. He also spends time helping people with adoption and foster care issues, communication problems, control struggles, and workplace stress. His practice includes support for mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, isolation and loneliness, and problems related to guilt and shame.
In sessions he works in a straightforward way. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. He talks through coping skills, ways to reduce distress, and methods to improve communication. The emphasis is on what will change daily life.
Michael draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions. That means he uses approaches supported by research to address things like anxiety, addiction, and trauma. He tailors those methods to each person’s goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
People who reach out are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire as a first step. From there they schedule appointments according to the therapist’s availability and the subscription model used for sessions. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and the subscription can be canceled at any time.
Evidence-based methods and online therapy options
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on anxiety, addiction, and trauma. For anxiety he focuses on practical skill building, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and learn coping exercises that reduce panic and worry. For addiction-related concerns he emphasizes strategies to manage urges, address triggers, and build routines that support recovery. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjusts plans as progress is made. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can work during a lunch break, and remote meetings remove travel time. Many people find that scheduling sessions around work or family responsibilities helps maintain steady progress. Licensed professionals can also adapt session pacing and homework to fit everyday demands, which keeps therapy practical and usable.Areas of expertise
