About Michael
Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wyoming with 26 years of clinical experience. He began practicing in 2002 and has held his Wyoming LPC since 2012. He works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, including parenting and fatherhood issues.
He has experience responding to crises and supporting people through immediate problem-solving and stabilization. Early in his career he provided diagnostic assessment and treatment planning while working in Georgia, and he later expanded into crisis response and group therapy settings. He has also worked with chronic pain, serious mental health symptoms, and care for people facing life-limiting illness.
His approach combines client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral methods. That means he listens for what a person wants to change, then helps set practical steps to shift behavior and thought patterns. He also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness techniques to help manage intense emotions and build coping skills.
Motivational interviewing is part of his toolkit when someone is ambivalent about change. In sessions he focuses on decision-making, impulse control, and building skills for daily functioning. He describes the work as collaborative and directed toward measurable goals.
People who choose him can expect a mix of individual and group formats in his background and a steady focus on skills that support functioning in everyday life. He accepts clients who communicate in English and works with international clients as well.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Michael Witham commonly blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral therapy to focus on clear goals and practical change. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and building a collaborative plan that reflects what the person wants to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or worry.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT strategies are useful when moods swing or impulses feel hard to manage, and mindfulness practices help ground attention and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will help figure out which techniques suit a person's needs, goals, and preferences through discussion and short trials of different methods. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
