About Michael

Michael Dykes is a licensed therapist practicing in Georgia with 20 years of professional experience. He holds LCSW and CSW credentials - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW stands for Certified Social Worker - and brings a steady, experienced presence to work with individuals facing a range of challenges.

He has helped clients manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and recover from trauma and abuse, and he has experience supporting people through depression. Michael approaches care with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that personal strengths are central to overcoming difficult situations. That perspective guides his collaborative work with clients, honoring individual resilience while offering practical support and clinical insight.

Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Michael recognizes and affirms that effort. He encourages those beginning this work to acknowledge their progress and to view therapy as a partnership aimed at addressing immediate concerns and building long-term coping skills.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting clients where they are, listening carefully, and building on each person’s strengths. This approach is useful for people seeking empathetic support while they explore personal goals, relationships, and everyday stressors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, and difficulties with coping skills. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted support for those processing traumatic experiences, helping to reduce distress and develop strategies for safety and regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients participate in shaping the plan of care so techniques align with their values and desired outcomes.

Online therapy with Michael includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to connect that accommodate work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic distance. These options make ongoing access to licensed professionals more practical and help clients maintain continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances change.
