About Michael
Michael Mudgett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who focuses on helping adults manage anger and related struggles. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions. Michael uses straightforward skills and practical conversation to help people feel more in control.
He brings 18 years of experience to sessions and combines several approaches to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions often include working on communication, managing strong emotions, and building daily coping skills. Michael pays attention to how past events and attachment patterns affect current relationships and behavior. His style is warm and interactive.
He listens, asks direct questions, and suggests exercises to practice between meetings. That can include thought tracking, values-based actions, breathing or grounding techniques, and guided processing for trauma when appropriate. Michael also draws on spiritual perspectives when clients request that support, and he can include mindfulness practices that fit a person’s beliefs.
He respects differing backgrounds and aims to help people reconnect with purpose and meaning. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.

Common approaches for managing anger and trauma online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps aligned with their values. It often focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and on building committed action despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reactions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger-related patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing distressing memories and sensations; it is sometimes used when trauma contributes to current upset.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the person and therapist choose or blend methods so sessions match the client’s needs and comfort level.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is good for conversation and guided exercises. Phone can be easier when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text support brief check-ins, short skill practice, and ongoing connection between scheduled sessions. These formats aim to make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
