About Michael
CO Psychologist PSY.0000508 with 42 years of experience, Dr. Michael Galvin helps people in Colorado and beyond with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, self-esteem, grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strains, workplace issues, and related problems. He has worked in a community mental health center, private practice, and in executive coaching. He now sees a limited number of clients while continuing to teach and consult.
In earlier work he used a range of traditional therapies and supervised other clinicians at three universities. Over time he incorporated newer methods into his practice. Two approaches became central to his work: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Energy Psychology. He describes these as producing faster shifts for anxiety- and trauma-related problems and often applying across different conditions.
Sessions focus on practical steps and techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day coping. He combines structured, evidence-informed tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with EMDR and trauma-focused strategies when appropriate. His background in training and coaching also informs a pragmatic, skills-focused style.
He has experience with issues that follow disasters, cancer, military and veteran concerns, dissociation, panic and phobias, sexual assault and abuse, and self-harm behavior. He also works with people who identify as LGBT and with those who are hearing impaired.
Dr. Galvin accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided attention to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. It is commonly used for post-traumatic stress, panic, phobias, and memories that continue to cause anxiety.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and workplace or performance concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Decisions about which technique to use are collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a day, allow shorter follow-ups when needed, and let people join from different locations. These practical benefits often help people maintain regular sessions alongside work, medical care, or family responsibilities.
