About Michael
Dr. Michael Haney helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and compassion fatigue. He uses a calm, respectful approach to make it easier to talk about hard things. He encourages steady steps toward clearer days so people feel less overwhelmed in daily life.
With 30 years of experience as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor, he meets people where they are and adapts conversation and plans to fit each person. He focuses on what is most important to the individual rather than pushing one fixed method. That practical flexibility guides how sessions move forward.
His work includes addressing relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, anger, mood disorders, ADHD, and issues tied to sexual trauma and assault. He also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, midlife challenges, and problems around communication. The approach blends listening with tools people can use between sessions.
Dr. Haney draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person central in planning. He also uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused strategies where they fit. Those methods are used as tools to help people manage emotions, change unhelpful patterns, and handle stressful moments.
Sessions are conducted from his Florida practice and are held in English. The first steps are simple: complete the brief matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works with the therapist's availability. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support while people work toward clearer goals.
How core approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience, so sessions start by listening and adapting to what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the plan at a comfortable pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small steps and practical exercises. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood patterns by giving clear tools to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those techniques can help with strong emotions, relationship stress, and problems managing impulses.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy progresses and as practical needs become clearer.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets between meetings.
