About Michael
Prof. Michael Feldler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with decades of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
He also assists those coping with parenting strains, career stress, burnout, ADHD, and body image or eating issues. He draws on Attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds and current relationships shape everyday struggles. He mixes that with practical skills from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be direct, clear, and focused on small, doable steps. Michael has worked in many settings over a long career and has taught and supervised students in a college-based mental health clinic. That background means he is used to explaining ideas plainly and coaching people through skills practice between meetings.
He aims to make sessions understandable, not full of jargon. In therapy he listens for what matters most to each person and uses that to guide goals. He pays attention to motivation and practical barriers so change feels realistic.
People can expect a steady, problem-solving approach that attends to feelings and the relationships that matter. His practice in New York offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the site's matching and booking steps.

Online support
Attachment and skills work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in closeness, trust, and fear of abandonment so they can try new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change habits that keep problems going.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan as needed, mixing attachment ideas with ACT or CBT techniques when that seems useful.
Online therapy makes those options easier to use from different places. Video calls let the therapist see facial cues for deeper conversations, phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging support quick check-ins or skill practice between meetings. These formats give flexibility for fitting therapy into work, family, or health commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
