Michael Witham , LPC

Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has provided mental health services since 2002 and has been licensed in Wyoming since 2012. With 26 years of experience, he has worked extensively in crisis response and resolution, initial diagnostics and treatment planning, and both individual and group therapy settings. His clinical work often addresses impulse control, coping strategies for depression and anxiety, decision-making and organizational skills, chronic pain management, and severe psychotic symptom management.

He employs a client-centered approach combined with directed cognitive-behavioral techniques, focusing on practical skills that support behavior change and emotional regulation. Michael emphasizes empathetic collaboration - identifying what a person wants to increase or decrease in their life, helping them manage complex stressors, and strengthening decision-making while fostering greater self-reliance and confidence. He has experience tailoring interventions to meet needs across a wide range of concerns including trauma, addiction, family issues, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and aging-related challenges.

Michael aims for clinically measurable progress and meaningful improvements in day-to-day functioning. He approaches each person with an eye toward enhancing existing strengths and building the skills needed to achieve clearly defined, satisfying goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michael Witham uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on building a supportive therapeutic relationship and helping people identify their own goals and strengths. This approach is useful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship or parenting concerns because it prioritizes the client’s perspective and pace.

He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative behaviors. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with decision-making or impulse control.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michael works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He blends approaches when appropriate and adjusts treatment based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with Michael is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide greater flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt interventions through these channels while focusing on practical outcomes and skill development.
