About Michael
Michael Levittan is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting matters, and anger. He offers services in English and accepts international clients.
He centers sessions on straightforward conversation and problem solving. He helps people talk through what’s most worrying them, identify patterns that keep problems going, and try practical steps to reduce distress. Sessions use clear language and aim for useful, manageable changes rather than technical jargon.
Michael places emphasis on relationship dynamics and communication. He helps people sort through arguments, control issues, and the effects of separation or divorce. He also addresses parenting strain, guiding parents to find more workable day-to-day approaches.
When trauma or panic is part of the picture, he works at a pace the client can handle and focuses on stabilizing symptoms first. He also addresses shame, guilt, loneliness, and struggles with life purpose and self-regard.
Clients can expect direct discussion of problems and concrete strategies to try between sessions. The subscription-based session model can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
The profile lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as the clinician's foundation. One common approach in this category is cognitive-behavioral style work, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Another typical method involves stabilizing and coping skills for trauma, which teaches grounding, emotion regulation, and stepwise exposure when appropriate.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, current difficulties, and personal preferences, then suggest which evidence-based methods to try. Plans are adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
This profile does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Phone or video sessions can also help when bandwidth or cameras are a concern. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between meetings, keeping therapy practical and focused on daily life changes.
