About Michael
LMHC Michael Rhine is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with 27 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, trauma and relationship or workplace strain. Sessions focus on practical skills and honest conversation rather than labels.
Rhine uses a mix of cognitive behavioral, client-centered, acceptance and commitment, dialectical behavior, and emotionally-focused approaches. He favors clear goals and step-by-step strategies such as managing intense feelings, building coping routines, and addressing patterns that cause repeated conflict. He also brings experience working with adverse childhood experiences and substance use issues.
In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Then he helps people try small changes and notice what works. Expect a direct, interactive style that balances skill practice with discussion about values and relationships.
Rhine also helps with career concerns, self-esteem, grief and life transitions. He addresses caregiver strain, fatherhood issues, codependency, and workplace stress with practical problem-solving and emotion regulation tools. For trauma-related concerns he blends stabilization skills with approaches that address attachment and family-of-origin patterns.
Therapy arrangements use a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions and scheduling follow the platform’s process: complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin. If you need an English-language clinician in Washington, Rhine’s background and methods match a broad range of adult concerns.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for managing intense emotions and conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist reviews a client’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and then collaboratively selects methods to try. Sessions may shift over time as priorities change, with a mix of skills practice and conversational work to test what helps.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting people join from different locations. Licensed professionals can guide practical skills, homework, and tracking between sessions to keep progress moving forward.
