About Michael
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 22 years of experience, Michael Chapman focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, mood disorders, addictions, and life changes. He works with people facing depression, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and relationship or career concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
Michael practices client-centered therapy and uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and find their own solutions. In client-centered work he listens, reflects, and helps clients notice connections between thoughts and feelings. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to change a behavior or build motivation to try new approaches.
He has experience supporting service members and veterans with deployment, reintegration, and post-traumatic stress concerns. He also addresses first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation and loneliness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. He talks through practical steps while helping people consider options that fit their situation.
Michael describes the first session as an overview of current concerns and priorities. Later sessions continue to explore what matters most and to build momentum toward concrete goals. He uses reflective listening and open-ended questions rather than giving direct advice.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflection. Online sessions follow the same pattern: the therapist pays attention to a person’s words, reflects feelings back, and helps them notice links between thoughts and emotions. This approach can help with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and exploring life changes.Motivational interviewing focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change. In an online conversation the therapist asks open questions, highlights strengths, and helps a person weigh options. This method is often useful for addictions, motivation issues, and stages of change related to careers or health behavior.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and will adjust methods as sessions progress. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what a person finds most useful.

It can also let people connect across time zones when international support is required.
