About Michael

Michael Ecuyer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 33 years of experience who combines practical therapy and life-coaching style support. He centers work on emotions and relationships while helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Michael practices Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive approaches to help people feel heard and understood.

He draws on a long career with diverse clients and situations. That background means he often sees the patterns that keep people stuck, such as attachment wounds, codependency, or repeated relationship conflicts.

Background and approach

He talks with clients about small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable. Sessions focus on clear goals and real steps. Michael uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address unhelpful thinking and to develop calmer responses to stress.

He also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice how past experiences shape present reactions. Michael works with a wide range of concerns including addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career pressures. He also helps with issues like abandonment, blended family challenges, and communication breakdowns.

People who prefer flexible contact options can meet by phone, video, live chat, or text. He accepts clients in Texas and international clients in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used, then sessions are scheduled based on availability.

Online support

How Emotion-Focused and Practical Therapies Translate Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift strong emotional patterns in relationships and personal life. Online sessions let a therapist notice interaction patterns, name emotional blocks, and practice new responses in real time. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel understood; that approach works well online because conversations can stay focused on the client's concerns and pacing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors. In virtual sessions this can mean working on short homework tasks, tracking situations between meetings, and reviewing results during video or messaging check-ins. Michael will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their needs and goals rather than prescribing a single path.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions require less data and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to have shorter, focused conversations. These options help people keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules or travel.
