Michael Malone, LMHC

Michael Malone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. He meets clients without judgment and aims to help them take practical steps forward.

He uses a present-centered approach that emphasizes understanding what is happening now. When helpful, he will look at past events and triggers to see how they shape current patterns. Sessions focus on setting realistic goals and building skills to manage stress, anxiety, grief, and other concerns.

Michael draws from several therapeutic approaches and adapts methods to each person’s needs. He aims to make sessions direct and collaborative, working with clients to identify small changes that lead to steady progress. The emphasis is on usable tools rather than abstract theory.

His areas of practice include coping with life changes, grief and loss, compassion fatigue and caregiver strain, infertility and adoption decisions, blended family issues, intimacy-related concerns, addictions, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar challenges. He also addresses stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship and communication problems, parenting concerns, and isolation.

With 16 years of experience, Michael emphasizes practical support. He encourages people to set achievable steps and to build skills they can use outside sessions. He welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into day-to-day life and how to begin moving forward.

How Michael's approaches translate to online work

Existential Therapy helps people consider what matters most to them and make deliberate choices. It can be useful when facing big life questions, loneliness, or decisions about meaning and purpose. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactive stress and ground daily life. It is often helpful for anxiety, mood regulation, and coping with strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michael collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. If an initial approach doesn’t feel right, he will adjust the plan together to find a better match.

Please confirm session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or let someone attend without being on camera if that feels better. Ask about current session options when you schedule to learn what will work for your needs.
