Michael "Mike" O'Neill, LPC

Michael "Mike" O'Neill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with 24 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, process trauma and abuse, and navigate grief and loss. He also works with issues such as depression, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and concerns common to men seeking therapy.

He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversation and treatment planning to the individual needs of the client. His work emphasizes practical strategies and thoughtful listening so clients can build resilience and clearer coping skills. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life can feel difficult, and he aims to provide steady support throughout that process.

Michael adapts his style to fit each client rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. He offers guidance for immediate challenges and helps create a longer-term plan when appropriate. His practice welcomes people seeking collaborative, experienced care from a Wisconsin-licensed counselor who combines professional expertise with a humane approach.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Care

Michael "Mike" O'Neill uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting concern. Cognitive and behavioral techniques help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. Trauma-focused work centers on stabilizing symptoms, developing safety and coping strategies, and processing traumatic memories when the client is ready. For addictions and grief-related challenges he emphasizes skills-based interventions that strengthen relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and adaptive routines to support recovery and healing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can make consistent care easier to maintain. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect from different locations and on schedules that suit them. This range of options supports continuity of care for local and international clients while making it simpler to access a licensed professional when challenges arise.
