Prof. Michael Feldler, LMHC

Prof. Michael Feldler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 38 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, and a wide range of life challenges. He practices in New York and works in English.

Michael approaches sessions in a straightforward, conversational way. He listens for what matters most, talks through motivations for change, and helps people notice the patterns that keep them stuck. He uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills-based work when helpful, together with acceptance-oriented and attachment-informed ideas.

He has long experience teaching and supervising students in a college-based mental health training clinic. That work has shaped how he explains ideas plainly and coaches people in practicing new habits between sessions. His background also includes work with trauma, addiction, and related concerns over many years.

In therapy he aims to identify both the immediate problem and deeper issues that feed it. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and building steady routines for sleep, eating, and daily coping. He also addresses identity and intimacy concerns when they come up.

People who choose him should expect a collaborative style that mixes skill-building, talk therapy, and reflective exploration. To begin, users follow the site intake steps to match and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems that persist despite effort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for mood, anxiety, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating, which can be important for intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor the mix of methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps choose practical tools and talk-based exploration in proportions that make sense for each person.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between sessions and return to real-life situations before the next meeting, which keeps progress linked to daily routines.
