Michael Keller, LMHC

Michael Keller is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He brings three decades of clinical experience to sessions and aims to address everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of living well. He speaks English and meets people where they are, focusing on practical steps rather than long explanations.

He works directly on issues such as addictions, depression, anger, bipolar concerns, and relationship strain. He also helps with self-esteem, career questions, and coaching-style goals. His approach tends to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what to do next.

Michael uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered listening, mindfulness, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship skills. These approaches are blended into a plan that targets thoughts, daily habits, and coping strategies.

Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. He pays attention to psychological, social, biological, and spiritual factors that affect wellbeing. Time in therapy is used to identify small changes that lead to steadier routines and fewer crises.

Michael asks for straightforward goals and honest feedback so the work stays practical. He encourages people who are nervous about starting to take the first step and notes that beginning therapy is itself progress.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and commit to small actions that move them toward what matters. It is useful for worries, low motivation, and patterns that keep repeating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that maintain problems and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and habit change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build insight and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This is a collaborative process and the fit can change over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people try strategies in the moment where challenges happen and then bring observations back into the session for problem solving.
