About Michael
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 15 years of experience, Michael Brackett helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, and questions about identity and purpose. He works with concerns like grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career transitions, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Michael approaches therapy as an active, collaborative process. He draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Jungian Therapy to look at how patterns formed in relationships and personal history shape current life. Work in sessions can include talking through patterns, exploring emotional responses, and attending to bodily experience and meaning around events.
He describes his role as guiding people to notice recurring dynamics, name painful feelings, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Sessions may involve examining attachment patterns, addressing codependency or commitment concerns, and improving communication and intimacy-related problems. Michael also supports clients dealing with dissociation, emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose questions.
Clients who come for coaching or help with coping strategies get practical steps to manage stress and daily demands, alongside deeper work about values and identity. His background includes teaching psychology at the college level and years of practice working with trauma and somatic themes. The emphasis is on learning how habitual patterns run and practicing alternatives over time.

How his approaches translate to remote sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence present behavior and feelings. In sessions this looks like noticing how people respond to closeness and trust, and practicing new ways of connecting that feel safer and more effective.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on the experience of emotion in relationships. It helps people identify core feelings, name interaction patterns, and change how they respond to create more openness and repair in close relationships.
Existential Therapy centers on questions of meaning, responsibility, and personal freedom. It is useful for those wrestling with purpose, life transitions, or persistent feelings of emptiness and despair.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often mix emotional focusing, relational exploration, and reflections on meaning as needed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. For many people, remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can avoid travel, schedule shorter check-ins during a work break, or choose options that demand less bandwidth. Discuss practical scheduling and format needs during the initial questionnaire and first meeting so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday routines.
