Michael Chapman is a licensed professional counselor who brings 22 years of experience to his work. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorders, addiction concerns, and major life changes.

He uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a space where the person leads the conversation. The therapist listens, reflects feelings, and encourages clients to notice connections between thoughts and behavior.
Background and approach
This approach aims to help people feel heard and to build their own solutions over time. Motivational Interviewing is another tool in his practice. That method helps people clarify what matters most to them and find the motivation to make changes, whether with substance use, career shifts, or daily habits.
Michael combines empathic listening with practical questions to move toward goals at the client’s pace. Michael has worked with military service members and veterans on deployment, reintegration, and trauma-related concerns. He also focuses on first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation, guilt and shame, and relationship and career strain.
He aims to meet people where they are and support steady progress. Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The first meeting usually covers the immediate concerns and what the person hopes to change.
From there, he and the client set a path forward together.

04Online support
Client-centered care and online sessions that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy is built around the idea that the person knows their own story best. The therapist listens closely, reflects feelings, and helps clients notice patterns without directing how they should change. This approach can help when someone needs to sort through emotions, rebuild confidence, or make sense of a difficult period.Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and gentle guidance to clarify values and build motivation for steps like addressing substance use, starting a new career path, or managing daily routines. The technique works well when a person feels stuck or ambivalent about making a change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will decide together which methods suit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means pacing sessions to match what the client wants to address.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone can be quicker and needs less bandwidth, live chat or text messaging can work for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit care into busy lives.
