Prof. Michael Feldler, LMHC

Prof. Michael Feldler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 38 years of experience helping children, adults, and families in a variety of clinical settings. He is trained as an individual, family, group, trauma, and addiction specialist and has extensive experience working with issues ranging from anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship and addiction concerns.

For fourteen years he has worked as an instructor and supervisor to undergraduate and graduate students in a college-based mental health training clinic, combining clinical practice with teaching and mentoring. His training spans client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based methods, and a range of inter-relational and family modalities.

Feldler brings particular skill in group therapy and in conducting sessions for people dealing with trauma, addiction, and those identified as sex offenders. He emphasizes careful listening, attention to motivation, and creating a supportive environment for exploring thoughts and feelings. Believing that presenting concerns are often the tip of the iceberg, he works to address both immediate problems and underlying patterns to promote personal growth. He aims to reduce loneliness and isolation, strengthen relationships, and help clients move toward the lives they want, and he welcomes inquiries to begin a respectful, collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Prof. Feldler

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take actions that align with what matters most, even when difficult thoughts or emotions are present. It can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on committed action rather than symptom elimination.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional regulation. This approach is helpful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment concerns, or recurring relationship difficulties because it targets core relational dynamics and supports rebuilding trust and connection.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard. It is effective for individuals seeking a collaborative space to explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Prof. Michael Feldler works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Prof. Feldler is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and fit therapy into a busy routine while working with licensed professionals and experienced therapists.
