About Michael

LPCC LPCC, LPC Michael Graul has seven years of experience providing counseling in Ohio. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of traumatic experiences. He also pays attention to concerns such as cancer-related distress, guilt and shame, forgiveness, men’s issues, post-traumatic stress, and building self-love. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Graul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to challenge unhelpful beliefs and build practical coping skills. He helps people identify thoughts that say they are not good enough or are to blame for what happened. Then he works with them to test those beliefs and try more realistic ways of thinking. The emphasis is on clear actions and steps rather than abstract theory.

Sessions normally involve talking through recent problems and looking back at how past events influence current behavior. He offers tools to reduce anxiety and manage depressive symptoms. When trauma is involved, he helps people recognize trauma’s effects and develop steady routines and skills to feel more grounded.

Michael describes therapy as a collaborative process. He will listen, give feedback, and suggest specific strategies to try between sessions. He encourages small experiments so people can see what changes help in daily life.

People do not need to have answers before they begin. The first sessions focus on understanding concerns and setting practical goals. To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to arrange the initial appointment.

How evidence-based methods work in online sessions

Graul uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building coping skills. Cognitive-behavioral approaches involve noticing thought patterns, testing them, and practicing alternative responses; they help with anxiety and depression. Trauma-focused strategies pay attention to how past events shape current reactions and introduce stabilizing practices and skills to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying methods, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

The practical benefits of remote sessions are about fitting therapy into life. Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. Licensed professionals can use remote meetings to continue regular, focused work on anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns without requiring an office visit.
