About Michael
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 30 years of experience, Dr. Michael Haney focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people facing ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, anger, bipolar and mood disorders, and life changes. Sessions emphasize practical conversation and clear goals rather than clinical jargon. Michael uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques.
Dr. Haney adapts the conversation to what each person brings. He listens for patterns that make daily life harder and looks for small changes that can reduce distress. In session he combines short-term tools and longer work depending on the issue. This can mean learning grounding and mindfulness skills, practicing new ways to speak about problems, or setting step-by-step goals.
His style is straightforward and action-oriented. People can expect direct reflection, behavioral experiments, and moments of skills practice. He blends cognitive behavioral strategies with DBT skills when emotion regulation or interpersonal problems are central. Solution-focused methods are used when clients want faster, goal-based progress.
Over three decades he has worked with a wide range of concerns, including military and veteran issues, domestic violence effects, sexual assault and abuse, and sex addiction. That background informs how he plans treatment and the resources he suggests.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in Florida. Prospective clients select a match process to start and then schedule an initial meeting to plan next steps.

How therapeutic approaches shape remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead to clarify goals and values, which helps when someone needs to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical techniques to change them, useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and phobias. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, emotional instability, and relationship conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest a plan that may combine methods. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what is helping and what is not.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists assign short between-session exercises, practice skills together during meetings, and use structured worksheets or mindfulness practices that translate well to remote sessions. Licensed professionals will discuss how to arrange sessions so they fit the client's routine.
