About Michael
Michael Malone is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 16 years of experience helping people sort through life’s hard moments. He offers practical support for stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and other challenges. Michael meets people where they are and focuses on concrete next steps they can use right away.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify what’s happening now and what keeps getting in the way. Past events may be discussed when they help explain present patterns, but the work centers on the here and now.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to set realistic goals and build skills that carry forward beyond therapy. Michael blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. He draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning in difficult times.
Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and support calm. Solution-focused methods guide short-term planning and measurable progress. Over his career he has supported people dealing with relationship and family concerns, intimacy questions, adoption and fertility issues, caregiver strain, and mood disorders.
He also helps with parenting stress, career matters, and addiction-related struggles. Michael uses plain language in session and avoids judgment. He works collaboratively to create a plan that makes sense for daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Michael often combines existential and mindfulness approaches with solution-focused planning to address immediate concerns and longer-term meaning. Existential Therapy helps people look at life choices, values, and purpose when facing loss or big transitions. It can be useful for those feeling stuck or questioning their direction. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away, which can reduce reactivity during anger or anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and practical steps people can try between sessions to move forward.Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Michael works with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and personal style. He checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan so sessions stay focused and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions are good for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, timely exchanges and easier scheduling during busy days. These options let people fit therapy into real life while keeping a steady focus on progress.
