About Michael
Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming with 26 years of experience. He began practicing in 2002 and has held licensure in Wyoming since 2012. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep and eating issues, parenting challenges, and related concerns.
He has long experience in crisis response and initial diagnostic and treatment planning. He offers individual and group work focused on impulse control, coping skills for depression and anxiety, and improving decision-making and organizational routines. His background also includes supporting people managing chronic pain and severe psychotic symptoms.
His stated style combines client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques. He focuses on identifying what a person wants to change, and then builds practical steps to increase or decrease behaviors. He also uses dialectical skills and mindfulness tools to help regulate intense emotions and stay present.
Sessions emphasize concrete skills for managing stressors, improving choices, and building confidence to handle daily demands. Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change or struggling with substance use and other addictive behaviors. The work is aimed at measurable progress in coping and decision-making.
Michael has run both individual and group therapies and draws on that breadth when planning care. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats before booking.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions can reproduce that by letting the client lead topics while the counselor helps clarify goals and options.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests small changes. That makes CBT easy to use online because the work often involves short exercises, thought records, and homework between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be demonstrated, practiced, and reviewed in remote sessions to help manage anger and intense moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can shift as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when needed, and reducing travel time. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work lets people practice skills in their daily life and bring real examples to sessions for problem-solving.
