About Michael
Michael Dubose is a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan with nine years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and life changes, including people questioning their life purpose. He also focuses on issues such as fatherhood, communication problems, and coping with caregiver stress.
In sessions he uses clear, practical tools rather than jargon. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. He also uses elements of existential work to talk about meaning and direction, and solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable steps.
Michael keeps conversations straightforward. He helps clients name what feels stuck, identify one or two achievable goals, and try changes between meetings. Sessions tend to center on problem solving, skills practice, and checking what worked in real life.
His background as an LCSW and LMSW in Michigan includes nearly a decade of direct practice with mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and life transitions. That experience informs practical ways to manage symptoms and make day-to-day life easier.
People who come to him often want to regain routine, address career or parenting strain, or find clearer direction after a major change. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps to select an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Michael often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in session. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and quick experiments to move a person toward clearer routines or decisions.Finding the best approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to match methods to their concerns, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people use quieter surroundings or low-bandwidth options if needed. The focus remains practical: testing small changes, tracking outcomes between sessions, and adjusting plans to fit everyday life.
