About Michael
Dr. Michael Black is a Colorado psychologist (CO Psychologist PSY.0001906) with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and career or parenting strains. He also addresses grief, intimacy issues, and challenges around self-esteem and life transitions.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches to help people notice and name difficult emotions. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems repeating and on trying new ways of responding. He also draws on cognitive behavioral and existential ideas when helpful.
In practice he listens for what matters most to each person and then shapes conversations around those priorities. That can include working on communication habits, managing impulses, or coping with major changes like separation or blended family stress. He also supports people dealing with caregiver burden, codependency, infidelity, and forgiveness issues.
Dr. Black often helps people explore how attachment patterns affect close relationships and daily choices. He offers straightforward feedback and practical steps people can try between meetings. He aims to help clients clarify goals and build skills that fit their everyday life.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Dr. Black uses EFT and related approaches online
Dr. Black draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name powerful emotions that shape their relationships and decisions. EFT is often used to gently track interaction patterns and to create new ways of connecting with feelings that have been hard to access.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at early and current relationship patterns that influence trust, intimacy, and reactions under stress. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep the focus on each person's priorities, encouraging clear, person-led conversation and practical steps that matter to the client.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to decide whether EFT, attachment focus, CBT techniques, or a mix fits their goals and situation. That decision is shaped by the client's needs, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing sessions that don’t require video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt many of these approaches to remote sessions and help clients practice skills between meetings.
