Michael Witham, LPC

Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming. He has been working in counseling since 2002 and licensed in Wyoming since 2012. He focuses on helping people manage everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life.

He uses a client-centered approach alongside cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different responses. Sessions emphasize practical skills for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and impulse control. He also addresses sleep, eating, parenting concerns, and substance use issues.

With 26 years of experience, he has provided crisis response, initial diagnostic impressions and treatment planning, plus individual and group work. That background includes supporting people facing chronic pain and severe psychotic symptoms, and helping with decision-making and organizational skills.

In a session he focuses on identifying the specific behaviors someone wants to change. He works on coping skills, emotion management, and building confidence to act more independently. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they fit a person's goals.

Clients can expect a practical, goal-oriented approach that ties everyday habits and thought patterns to real-life routines. He aims for measurable progress while strengthening a person’s abilities and resilience.

How his approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides the work toward goals they choose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches how thoughts shape feelings and actions, then practices small changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotion regulation and managing impulses, which can help with anger and self-control issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about problems, goals, and daily routines, then together decide which methods will be most useful. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter session is helpful. It can also let people use breathwork or guided practices between meetings, and bring real-life examples from home into the conversation to practice new habits.
