Michael Witham, LPC

Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than two decades of clinical experience. He draws on straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and the challenges that come with health conditions or life transitions.

He practices in Wyoming and has been working in counseling since 2002, holding his Wyoming LPC since 2012. He has been involved in crisis response and initial treatment planning, and he brings that background into sessions for clearer next steps.

Michael uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and stress management.

Work in his office has included individual and group therapy for impulse control, coping with depression and anxiety, and decision-making or organizational skill building. He has experience supporting people with chronic pain, severe psychotic symptoms, and substance-related concerns.

Sessions aim to build practical skills, improve problem solving, and increase confidence in everyday choices. People who want concrete tools and a collaborative approach to handling grief, parenting strain, ADHD, sleep or eating issues often find this style useful.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and strengths, with the therapist listening closely and following the client’s lead to set goals and move forward. This approach is useful for people facing grief, parenting strain, or life changes who need a supportive space to sort priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and for managing distress linked to chronic illness.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving impulse control. Short lessons in mindfulness and emotion regulation can be helpful for anger, addictions, and stress that affects daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins when energy or mobility is limited. Licensed professionals can use a mix of tools to offer focused, skills-based sessions that fit into everyday life.
