Michael Sanchez, LCSW

Michael Sanchez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. He speaks English and Spanish and works with people facing self-esteem struggles, mood problems, and life transitions.

He uses a direct and supportive style in sessions. Conversations focus on clear goals and practical steps. Clients leave with specific strategies to try between meetings.

Michael draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. He also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe personal stories and Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, achievable changes. These approaches guide short-term work and longer explorations depending on what someone needs.

With three years of clinical experience, he aims to be collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are designed to teach skills, practice them together, and track progress. Michael balances encouragement with accountability so people can notice real shifts.

He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and pricing varies with location and therapist availability. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for them.

Michael keeps session work focused and practical while attending to the emotions behind problems. He helps people build tools to cope, improve communication, and regain a sense of control.

How these approaches work in online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. It is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and stress management. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and find alternative, more helpful ways to understand their lives. This can reduce shame and improve self-worth. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and short-term goals, helping people build momentum with small, targeted changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed and new issues emerge.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, while phone calls are handy when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can fit quick check-ins, short problem-solving, or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep up with regular sessions.
