About Michael
Michael Brackett is a licensed professional counselor who helps people cope with strong feelings and life changes. He offers a calm, steady presence for those dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, or struggles with identity and purpose. Michael’s work feels practical and down to earth.
He aims to help people feel more connected to themselves and to others. He draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how relationships shape emotions and behavior.
Background and approach
Michael also uses Jungian ideas and existential questions to help people find meaning and direction. Sessions often include noticing bodily reactions and naming what comes up, not just talking through thoughts. He has 15 years of experience and holds an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, in Colorado.
He has also taught psychology at the college level and has focused work with trauma, somatic methods, and creative expression. That background guides how he structures sessions and sets goals with clients. People who come to him can expect a collaborative process.
Michael works with clients to identify repeated patterns and develop new ways of responding. He supports practical steps for everyday life alongside deeper reflection about values and purpose. Online options include video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

Approach and online therapy options
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and safety in connection; it can help people understand patterns in close relationships and move toward healthier bonds. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting core emotions in relationships and individual work to improve how someone expresses needs and connects with others. Existential Therapy invites clients to examine meaning, choice, and responsibility when feeling stuck or facing life transitions, helping clarify values and direction.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using one fixed style. Together they decide which approaches to try and adapt them as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible and accessible. Video calls allow more conversational depth and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, travel, or busy family routines while keeping the focus on goals and progress.
