About Michael

Michael Letendre is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 15 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma and abuse. He aims to create an environment where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings without judgment.

He focuses on practical, step-by-step work that supports real-life change. Sessions look at current challenges like addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and family-related stress. He also addresses more specific concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, aging or geriatric questions, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.

Over his career he has supported people dealing with phobias, infidelity and jealousy, hoarding, and multicultural concerns. First responder issues, coping after disasters, and health-related matters such as HIV/AIDS are also within his experience. He brings steady, respectful attention when people are sorting through complex or painful situations.

Michael works with each person to set practical goals. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and teaches skills clients can use outside of therapy. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

If you decide to reach out, the first step is to use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online care

Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions and teach practical skills. That can mean working on coping strategies for anxiety and stress that focus on breathing, activity planning, and manageable behavior changes. It can also mean stepwise work for trauma and abuse-related symptoms, where the aim is to reduce distress by building tolerance and safety around difficult memories.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, lifestyle, and comfort level. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on how a person responds and what feels most useful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to keep continuity of care when life circumstances change.
