About Michael

Michael Dubose is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges tied to parenting and relationships. He writes simply and meets people where they are. He encourages practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Michael uses short-term strategies and longer conversations to fit what each person needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help change patterns of thought and behavior.

Background and approach

He also uses existential questions to help clients find meaning when life feels confusing, and solution-focused techniques to build clear goals and next steps. Clients can expect a respectful, direct approach that values sensitivity and honesty. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client, with attention to everyday problems like communication breakdowns, caregiver stress, fatherhood challenges, and midlife transitions.

Michael emphasizes rebuilding routine and feeling more grounded after loss or trauma. He has nine years of professional experience and holds both a Licensed Master Social Worker credential and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. He practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.

His background includes working with mood disorders, panic attacks, and stress linked to prejudice and discrimination.

How Michael's Approaches Work Online

Michael often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change routines that keep problems going; this approach is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. He also draws on solution-focused therapy to set small, concrete goals and build steps that lead to visible progress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist and client decide on methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send short updates, get quick support, or check in between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving, and busy days.
