About Michael
Michael Yeager is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 28 years of clinical experience to his work. He practices in Florida and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, trauma and depression. He uses a respectful, sensitive approach and tailors conversation and care to each person.
He listens first to understand what matters most and then helps set small, achievable goals. Sessions look at what triggers strong emotions and at practical ways to respond differently.
Background and approach
For someone dealing with anger, that may mean learning brief grounding steps and new ways to communicate when heated. His background spans many settings over nearly three decades, giving him experience with trauma, abuse, panic, mood concerns, social anxiety, and problems tied to adoption or caregiving.
He also supports people coping with domestic violence histories and the stress that comes with caring roles. Michael keeps explanations plain and focuses on skills people can use between sessions. He adapts the pace and tools to each person's needs.
Taking a first step is often the hardest part, and he aims to make that step feel safe and manageable. People who prefer English-language sessions will find him able to work by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online support
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills people can use right away. One common approach teaches how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and how changing one piece can reduce anxiety and anger; this helps with panic attacks, mood swings, and everyday stress. Another approach emphasizes grounding and emotion-regulation strategies - short, concrete steps to calm the body and slow a heated reaction during conflict or flashbacks. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and then adjust as progress is made. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins or written reflection, and text messaging supports ongoing, shorter touchpoints between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing skills when they are most needed.Questions people ask about Michael
