Michael Ecuyer

Michael Ecuyer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 33 years of practice experience. He frames therapy like coaching, helping people clear obstacles so they can pursue their goals and purpose. His manner is practical and straightforward, aimed at people seeking real changes in stress, relationships, or life direction.

He uses a client-centered approach, meeting people where they are and shaping sessions around each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones. Emotionally-focused work supports improving connection and communication in close relationships.

Michael has worked with people facing grief, addiction, trauma and chronic stress. He also helps with parenting concerns, blended family issues, caregiver strain, and coping with illness or cancer. He draws on decades of experience to offer steady, calm guidance when life feels overwhelming.

Sessions emphasize practical steps and short-term goals when those fit the situation, and deeper exploration when people want to understand long-standing patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to build attention and reduce reactivity. Psychodynamic ideas are woven in to look at how past experience shapes current choices.

He provides care from Texas and works with English-speaking clients, including international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy flow, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape remote work

Michael often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and adapting the work to what each person says they need. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive, nonjudgmental space to figure things out. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is also part of his work and involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different, practical behaviors to change how problems are experienced. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their personality and needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The therapist and client decide together whether to emphasize short-term skills, emotional processing, or a mix of both.

The profile notes phone, text, and occasional video as previously used formats, but clients should confirm which session types are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, and reduce the need to travel. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain continuity during times of change while still focusing on practical steps and relational work.
