Michael Capre, LPC

Michael Capre uses cognitive behavioral therapy as a foundation for his work. He blends practical thinking tools with deeper conversation to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and mood concerns. Michael is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and he draws on nine years of clinical work in Colorado.

He focuses on adolescents and adults who are dealing with depressive, anxiety, or personality symptoms. Michael helps people identify values, notice unhelpful thought patterns, and develop small, doable changes. He also supports work on relationships, intimacy issues, parenting strains, and career stress.

Michael has worked in outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings. That range gave him experience with trauma, substance concerns, disruptive behavior, and mood disorders. He brings that background into appointments while keeping sessions straightforward and goal-focused.

In a typical session he listens first, then helps set clear steps you can try between meetings. He uses client-centered approaches to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s goals. He also uses psychodynamic and existential ideas when exploring patterns, meaning, and values.

People often come for help with low self-esteem, guilt, codependency, or trouble coping with life changes. Michael guides people through grief, forgiveness work, attachment concerns, and managing anger. His practice aims to make change feel achievable and steady.

CBT and Talk-Based Approaches for Online Care

Michael uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework that often translate well to video or messaging formats and can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood management. He also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening, empathy, and the client's goals to guide each session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then tailor sessions to fit. That collaborative approach means techniques can shift over time based on what helps most for coping, values, and relationships.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between meetings. These formats make scheduling easier and help therapy fit around school, work, or family demands.
