Michael Witham

Michael Witham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming. He brings 26 years of clinical experience and a practical focus on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and impulse-related problems. He uses straightforward language and calm guidance to help people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

He began practicing in 2002 and moved to Wyoming in 2012, accumulating years responding to crisis situations and providing both individual and group therapy. His background includes work with chronic pain, severe psychotic symptoms, addiction concerns, and complex emotional stressors. That experience informs how he plans treatment and sets realistic steps forward.

Michael blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral strategies and also draws on Mindfulness Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. In sessions he focuses on identifying goals, building coping skills for anxiety and anger, and improving decision-making and organizational habits. He encourages practical skills people can try between meetings.

He also works with concerns such as sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, grief, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and issues tied to aging, chronic illness, and first responder stress. He aims to strengthen each person’s ability to manage change and regain confidence.

Sessions emphasize collaboration: people set goals, try manageable steps, and track what helps. Michael invites open conversation about expectations and adjusts the approach as needs shift.

How Mindfulness and CBT Translate to Online Care

Michael draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, sleep problems, emotional reactivity, and managing chronic pain by teaching simple attention and breathing practices.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on each person’s goals and values. That approach means the therapist listens carefully, follows the client’s lead, and helps the client name the changes they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that improve mood and daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. He works collaboratively to decide what methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking since the biography doesn’t list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports using mindfulness practices and CBT worksheets between sessions so changes can be practiced in daily routines.
