About Michael

Michael Sanchez is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida. He has eight years of experience working in mental health settings and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. He has worked in residential programs, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient care for mental health and substance use.

That background gives him direct experience with higher-intensity needs and complex situations. Michael combines Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered listening and practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with clear goals and steps to try between meetings. He also uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to help people find motivation and reframe unhelpful stories about themselves. In conversation, he focuses on respectful, compassionate care and on building a working plan together.

Michael emphasizes concrete skills for managing panic, reducing cravings, improving communication, and boosting confidence. Therapy sessions can address abandonment worries, attachment issues, codependency, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, and concerns tied to autism or co-occurring disorders. He also supports people navigating non-monogamous relationships and men’s issues when these areas are relevant.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session once the match is made.

Online support

How Attachment and Practical Therapies Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy aims to help people understand how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional reactions, and it can be useful for issues like abandonment, trust, and attachment worries. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can find their own solutions; it fits well when someone needs steady, empathetic support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, gives concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and addiction cravings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and daily life, and then adapt methods accordingly. That could mean starting with supportive listening, adding CBT techniques for skill building, or using motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are close to in-person meetings and work well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good option for lower bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing connection between sessions. These options help people try different ways of working together until they find what fits.
