About Michael
Prof. Michael Feldler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 38 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship concerns, and other life strains.
He works in a direct, down-to-earth way so busy parents can understand next steps quickly. He draws on practical approaches such as cognitive-behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them.
Background and approach
Attachment-based and client-centered ways of working shape how he listens and responds in sessions. Prof. Feldler has worked in clinical and teaching roles in New York for decades.
He has experience running groups and supervising students in college-based training clinics. That background means he is used to explaining skills clearly and helping people practice them between appointments. In sessions he focuses first on what brought someone in.
Then he looks at related patterns beneath the surface, like longstanding relationship or attachment issues. He aims to help clients reduce isolation, regain control over difficult reactions, and improve daily functioning. People can expect straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and a focus on building skills they can use at home.
His approach balances problem-solving with attention to personal values and meaningful change.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build small behaviors that match personal values and can be practiced between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to identify and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood. It emphasizes concrete tools, homework, and measurable progress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build clearer, more supported ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for longer work and practice of skills, phone can fit a short check-in or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging is helpful for quick questions or brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family commitments.
