About Michael
Michael Fronk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with nine years of experience. He helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, family concerns, self-esteem, relationships, trauma, intimacy-related issues, bipolar concerns, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
His approach is straightforward and practical. He listens to what matters most and works with people to identify small, manageable steps. Sessions focus on clear goals and on learning skills that can be used between meetings. He uses methods drawn from attachment work, cognitive behavioral tools, and other evidence-informed ideas to address patterns that cause pain.
Michael emphasizes honest conversation about difficult feelings and relationship patterns. He pays attention to family of origin problems, attachment wounds, abandonment fears, and communication or control issues. He also addresses substance use and co-occurring problems when they are present.
In sessions he may use client-centered techniques to help people feel heard and CBT or DBT strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Existential concerns about purpose or meaning are explored in clear, practical ways rather than in abstract language. The work aims to make daily life more manageable and to clarify next steps after changes in work, relationships, or health.

How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. In an online session this can mean looking at patterns in close relationships and practicing new ways of communicating and signaling needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active; online sessions often include setting homework, tracking moods, and rehearsing different responses between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance and can be used to reduce impulsive responses and manage intense feelings.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods as needs change and try different ways of working until a useful fit is found.
The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking. When exploring options, consider practical benefits of working remotely such as fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding travel time. Many people find online meetings make it easier to attend regularly and to practice skills in everyday settings.
