About Michael
Michael Ecuyer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 33 years of practice. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, as well as depression, addictions, trauma and grief. He often frames his work with clients around life goals and practical steps toward change.
He describes his role partly as a life coach, helping people identify obstacles and make concrete shifts. Sessions tend to focus on patterns in relationships, communication problems, and emotional blocks that get in the way of daily functioning. He also addresses parenting and blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and issues tied to adoption or attachment.
Michael uses a mix of approaches including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas. That combination is used to notice painful emotions, track how they show up in behavior, and try small experiments to change those patterns. He also works on problem-solving for career and practical life stressors.
His experience includes helping people with chronic illness and pain, addiction concerns, grief after loss, and codependency or commitment struggles. He will also help with anger, communication breakdowns, and coping after separation or divorce. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and name strong feelings that affect relationships and closeness. It looks at how people respond when they feel triggered and helps them try new, more connected ways of interacting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective and priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead to clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses small experiments and skill practice to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what emerges in early sessions. That way the work stays practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
The original biography notes phone, text, and sometimes video sessions, but clients should confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. A mix of emotional focus, active problem-solving, and mindfulness practices can be adapted to remote sessions to address relationship patterns, stress, and coping with life changes.
