About Michael
Michael Brackett is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people get unstuck and find more meaning in daily life. He uses clear talk and practical exercises to help clients cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship struggles. Michael keeps sessions grounded and direct so parents and busy adults can make steady progress between meetings.
He blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns in how they relate to others and to themselves.
Background and approach
Michael also draws on existential and Jungian influences to address questions about purpose, identity, and personal values. This mix lets him attend to strong emotions and the stories that give those emotions shape. Michael leans toward an active, collaborative style.
He will help clients name stuck patterns, practice new ways of responding, and try small experiments outside sessions. Some work includes breathing and body-based awareness alongside conversations about past experiences and current choices. With 15 years of clinical experience and work teaching psychology, he brings both practical skills and a reflective stance.
He often supports people facing life transitions, addiction challenges, intimacy concerns, and the long tail of trauma and loss. Clients can expect straightforward guidance and exercises to use between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and Michael works with clients in Colorado and internationally.
He holds the LPC credential and adapts his approach to each person’s needs and goals.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions that shape relationships and personal patterns; it helps people track feelings and change unhelpful interaction cycles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current trust and closeness, and it helps people shift long-standing ways of relating to feel safer and more connected. Existential Therapy centers on meaning, choice, and responsibility, helping people face life transitions, purpose questions, and feelings of emptiness in a direct way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial cues and work interactively during exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style notes, and follow-up between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity across life changes.
