About Michael
Michael Brackett is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Colorado with 15 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and a wide range of life struggles. He also addresses issues such as self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career transitions, and ADHD.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Attachment-Based Therapy and existential ideas to look at how emotions and long-standing patterns shape daily life. Sessions focus on noticing feelings, tracing how those feelings affect relationships and behavior, and trying new ways of responding. The work can include talking, paying attention to bodily experience, and creative reflection.
Michael draws on Jungian perspectives and the Gottman Method as part of a broader approach. That means he attends to deeper meaning, recurring themes, and how people interact with one another. He also brings experience teaching psychology and training in trauma-informed and somatic practices to his clinical work.
In sessions he aims to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and practice different responses. Therapeutic conversations can address attachment issues, communication problems, codependency, dissociation, shame and guilt, and questions about purpose and identity. Michael accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It helps people name hard-to-reach feelings and practice different ways of responding to those feelings.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape expectations and behavior in current relationships. It is useful for people wanting to understand recurring conflict, codependency, or commitment concerns.
Existential Therapy attends to questions of meaning, choice, and identity. It can help when life transitions, midlife concerns, or feelings of emptiness and isolation are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best for their situation, goals, and preferences. The process is practical and conversational, with the therapist and client adjusting methods as progress is made.
