Michael Witham, LPC

Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming with 26 years of clinical experience. He blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral tools to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He offers straightforward, goal-focused work designed to build practical skills and clearer decision making.

He began practicing in 2002 and has worked in crisis response and resolution as well as initial diagnostics and treatment planning. That background informs his approach to acute stress, trauma, and complex emotional reactions. He has experience addressing impulse control, addictions, and severe symptoms that can arise with chronic illness or serious mental health conditions.

Sessions focus on identifying what a person wants to change and then building the skills to get there. Cognitive-behavioral strategies are used to shift unhelpful thoughts and actions. Client-centered methods keep the process grounded in each person’s goals and values.

He also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions, improve coping, and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing supports readiness for change when people feel stuck or ambivalent.

Michael has worked with issues across the lifespan including grief, parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and challenges tied to aging or chronic health conditions. He welcomes conversations about practical steps toward better day-to-day functioning and increased confidence.

How therapy approaches translate online

Client-centered therapy places your goals and concerns at the center of each session. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping you shape a plan that fits your life. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new, more effective skills; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with predictable stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, preferences, and goals and help decide whether client-centered conversations, CBT techniques, or a blend is the best fit. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan can change when needed.

The practical upside of online therapy is that it can fit more easily into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. Confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy around work, medical appointments, or caregiving duties, and some session types are easier when you prefer less travel, need a shorter check-in, or want an option that does not require video.
