Michael Ecuyer, LCSW

Michael Ecuyer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 33 years of experience. He centers sessions on practical changes to thoughts and everyday habits so people can move past what holds them back. Michael describes his work as a kind of life coaching that pairs clear goals with steady emotional support.

He draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas help identify unhelpful thinking and build new routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and psychodynamic ideas are used when patterns in relationships and early experiences come into view.

Many people come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or problems with intimacy and relationships. He also supports those dealing with addiction, caregiver strain, chronic illness, blended family challenges, and major life changes. Sessions often include practical steps and homework to try between meetings.

Michael has long experience working with parents and individuals facing relationship disappointments and workplace stress. He aims for straightforward conversations that clarify next steps and reduce overwhelm. He mentions daytime and some evening availability, and that he checks and responds to messages daily.

He offers services from Texas and works in English. Prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's priorities. In online sessions this looks like building a plan around what matters most and checking progress each meeting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors; it often includes short exercises and homework that people can use between online sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's life and adjust as needed in a collaborative way.

The biography notes phone, text, and sometimes video as formats used, so confirm which of these options are currently available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep consistency and apply changes to everyday routines.
