About Michael
Michael Sanchez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. He speaks English and Spanish and works with adults who want clearer thinking and steadier moods. He focuses on practical steps and honest conversation.
He favors short-term, goal-oriented work that looks for small changes that add up. Sessions usually focus on what is happening now, how patterns started, and what can be tried differently.
Background and approach
He mixes straightforward problem-solving with chances to tell and reframe personal stories. In a session he listens without judgment and asks direct questions to clarify what matters most. Together with each person he sets concrete goals and tracks progress week to week.
He gives tools people can use between sessions to manage symptoms and practice new habits. Michael brings three years of clinical experience in California to his practice. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape the work.
He describes his style as empathetic, assertive, and collaborative. People often come for help with low self-worth, trouble regulating impulses, relationship and communication problems, or feelings tied to past abuse. He also addresses money-related stress, midlife concerns, and issues common to veterans and armed forces members.
The aim is clearer perspective and usable coping skills.

Online support
How approaches like CBT and Narrative Therapy work online
Michael often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it suits issues like anxiety, mood changes, and ADHD-related habits.He also uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe their life stories. This approach helps when past events or identity stories keep someone stuck, and it can reduce the power of shame, guilt, or persistent negative beliefs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Sessions may mix techniques and will be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when conversation and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coping prompts, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats until a good fit is found.
