About Michael
Michael Capre uses a collaborative, client-centered approach to help people when life feels overwhelming. He focuses on helping individuals notice what matters to them, build clearer insight, and practice everyday self-care. Michael holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC - and brings nine years of clinical experience to his work.
He commonly supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. He also addresses relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, and issues connected to identity such as LGBT matters.
Background and approach
Michael helps with parenting stress, career questions, and the challenges of major life changes. His sessions draw on practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behavior. He also uses client-centered listening to follow what the person brings, and existential ideas to examine meaning and values.
Psychodynamic thinking is used when understanding past patterns helps explain current struggles. Michael's background includes work in outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings. That range has shaped a flexible style suited to both short-term goals and deeper exploration.
He aims for straightforward conversations that lead to realistic steps between sessions. People who contact him typically want clear, usable tools and a therapist who listens without judgment. He suggests small, steady changes rather than dramatic overhauls.
For those trying therapy again after setbacks, he focuses on restoring agency and practical coping skills.
Approach and online therapy options
Michael integrates client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make practical change. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following what matters most to the person, which helps with self-esteem, identity, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and cope with stress.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Michael works collaboratively to decide which approach fits a person's goals, symptoms, and preferences. Over early sessions he and the client check what feels useful and adjust focus as needed so the approach matches real-life needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and nuanced conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people try different ways of connecting to find what works best.
