Michael Schneider, LPC

Michael Schneider is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 22 years of clinical experience. He specializes in helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and the many challenges that come with life transitions. His practice also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, questions of life purpose, men's issues, mood disorders, and self-love.

He favors short-term, solution-focused methods paired with strategies that target both insight and behavioral change. His clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, applied to a broad range of presenting concerns such as depression and grief, anxiety and phobias, anger management, adjustment difficulties, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Building rapport and drawing on a person's strengths form the foundation of his approach.

In sessions he aims to facilitate real, lasting change by helping people hear what they need to hear in a manner they can accept, even when the material is difficult. He emphasizes acceptance of reality as a key step toward enduring positive outcomes. He also attends to the connection between mind and body, noting the role of nutrition and physical health in overall mental well-being, and he integrates awareness of both conscious and unconscious processes to help relieve symptoms and support meaningful change.
