About Michael
Michael Ecuyer uses a practical, people-focused approach to help clients move past what holds them back. He blends talking, coaching, and skills practice to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and addiction. Michael is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, which he uses to guide supportive, goal-oriented work.
He has more than three decades of experience in social work and counseling. Over that time he has helped people facing relationship disappointments, heavy stress, parenting pressures, and the strains of blended families.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with medical challenges, caregiver stress, and career or financial worries. Sessions are direct and plainspoken. Michael listens, helps people name what matters, and suggests steps they can try between sessions.
He uses methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas to match the person’s needs. Many clients focus on specific problems like communication, commitment concerns, abandonment or attachment worries, or substance use. Others work on coping with life changes, chronic illness, or compassion fatigue.
Michael frames therapy in a coaching style to keep conversations forward-moving and practical. He offers conversations by phone, text, live chat, and sometimes video. People in Texas and beyond can access his services in English.
Michael aims to help each person find clearer choices and manageable steps toward their goals.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to identify goals and priorities; it helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people map and shift the emotions that drive relationship patterns and can aid those struggling with intimacy and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative decision-making makes it easier to adjust strategies as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging work for ongoing reflection, brief coaching between sessions, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
