Michael Bohman, LCSW

Michael Bohman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four decades of experience supporting people through hard stretches. He draws on a long career in clinical settings to help with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, mood concerns, and life transitions.

He uses a recovery-minded stance that keeps goals practical and focused. Sessions typically center on what is happening now and what can be done next. He listens for strengths and builds step-by-step plans to improve daily functioning, sleep, and relationships.

Across his career he has worked in many settings including mental health and substance-abuse services. He has decades of experience as a clinical supervisor, and he has consulted on trainings and program development. That background informs a structured, experienced approach in the room.

His work includes helping people cope with chronic illness, caregiving stress, codependency, and loneliness. He also supports concerns about parenting, fatherhood, anger, career transitions, and identity-related issues such as LGBT concerns.

Michael blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. He also uses motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when they fit a person's goals. This mix aims to make change feel doable instead of overwhelming.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they help

Michael uses client-centered therapy to start by listening to each person's story and priorities. This approach focuses on understanding the person's goals and building a plan that fits their daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, provides practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, sleep, or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each client about goals and preferences and then try methods that match those goals. Therapy is collaborative - the client and therapist adjust approaches as progress and needs change.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people keep therapy consistent during life transitions or when managing caregiving or health-related demands.
