Michael knows how to get to what ever issues a person my have and helps with understanding and coping with them

Reviewed March 2021

Mike makes sure he understands what your concerns are before he starts to address them with you. He truly listens to understand. He is caring and understanding but is not afraid to tell you things that may be hard to hear. He never speaks out of judgement but as an unbiased listener that has a different perspective. He has always been respectful of my feelings, my time and my situation. He gives really valuable insight and is practical in his suggestions. I’m not saying it’s easy to dive in and get help, but it Is really beneficial to have a good solid counselor.

More about Michael

  • 20 years' experience
  • Male
  • LIMHP, LPC

I am a mental health counselor originally from Nebraska and now living in Arizona. I have 20+ years of experience. I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and low motivation. I have also helped people with addiction problems. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My counseling approach is from a Christian perspective, and that we need God in our lives for direction, guidance, and as a moral compass for making choices and decisions. If you feel this would not be a good fit for you, I certainly understand and wish you the best. Michael

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Practical and good with Scripture - has a good perspective on things.

If you want a good listener - someone who can understand and then identify where the priority is - this is the guy. He helps you understand what you can be doing in the next week to move your situation forward - increasing self awareness every step of the way.

Michael knows what he's doing. Everything is very professional, yet personal. After the introductions, it's basically like talking to a friend. He let's you know he cares and is willing to help out no matter what. He's smart. He has a good grasp on how to help. I didn't know going in if I was going to like or be comfortable with this, but I'm glad Michael was the one I was paired up with.

Reviewed June 2018

Michaels advice is extremely supportive, knowledgeable and spiritual in a practical manner. I would recommend him to anyone seeking counseling.

Michael was very insightful and humerous and patient and helped me through a diffucult transition. Great therapist great human being!

Reviewed February 2022

I've only had two sessions with Michael, but he's already identified a few things that I hadn't been able to. It's what I was hoping for since I think objectivity and perspective is are hard things to achieve when you're buried in your own trauma and turmoil. I'm grateful to be working with him.

Reviewed December 2021

Mike is really great! From the get go, I could tell that he very seriously tried to get to know me. He immediately started picking up on my habits and, if any needed work, he worked with me on options for correction. In our eight sessions, I have learned so many things that I will take with me for the remainder of my life. He was someone I felt very comfortable with (which is hard for me) and I am so thankful for that. I highly recommend Mike and hope you get to work with him as closely as I did!

Michael is a kind and professional person. He gets me out of my head and into my body where I hold my feelings hostage. I really like his smar and non-judgmental style!

Mike is the second counselor I have worked with from this platform. I connected with him much better than my first counselor, He is very good at getting to the heart of the matter, as well with offering advice on how to improve my own life outside of therapy. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Christian centered wy of approaching the difficulties life throws your way.

Reviewed April 2021

Michael has been helping me talk through things that have been hard for me to let out. He listens and asks good questions as well as provides knowledge on how certain mental sicknesses work. He has been slowly helping me figure out the causes of my emotional problems and also helping me see a more clear path as to how to feel better.

Reviewed March 2021

Michael Arnold listens. When having conversations Michael insist that patients question their own actions. This is helpful because this tactic helps me look harder at myself and my problems. I'm usually left feeling silly at the moment. But after Michael interjects his realistic real-world insight his approach produces a self help mentality in me.

Reviewed January 2021

What I appreciate about Michael is his ability to challenge you and push you to actually do and not just theorize. He didn't coddle me and told me what I needed to hear. I don't think there are enough people like that anymore. I went from pretty depressed to really happy in a few months and he really helped me to change my mindset. I greatly enjoyed counseling with him and if I return I will do it with him.

Reviewed November 2020

I can’t really express how thankful I am for Michael. I had never had therapy before and he made me feel comfortable right away. We worked on coping mechanisms and getting to the root of my anxiety. In a relatively short period of time I am in a better place than I have been in months.

Reviewed November 2020

Michael has been a wonderful help to me and my personal issues. He's very understanding but extremely knowledgable about therapy and tries to find the best method to work with you.

Michael is a great professional. Very patient, understanding and wise. He is the person I can share a lot of my personal feelings and experiences with. When we just started therapy, I had problems with procrastination, that as it turned out, were connected to low self esteem and wrong mindset. In almost two months we did a great progress that changed a lot in the way I look at things and now I'm much happier than before, enjoy my work and successfully make my own creative projects. Next time I will need therapy I will do it with Michael again.
