Michael Dubose, LCSW, LMSW

Michael Dubose is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and caregiver strain. He works with people facing life changes, relationship and communication problems, trauma, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. Michael emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support through hard moments.

He uses short, clear conversations and practical tools tailored to each person. Michael believes people can change and grow at any stage of life. Sessions focus on rebuilding routines, coping skills, and clearer thinking so daily life feels more manageable.

Michael brings nine years of practice in Michigan, and he draws on several therapeutic approaches to match a person's needs. He adapts the conversation and plan to what each client needs and prefers rather than following a single script. That flexible style helps people handle crises and also work toward longer-term goals.

Practical concerns like parenting stress, fatherhood issues, caregiving burden, and communication problems are part of his focus areas. He also addresses mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Michael frames progress as small steps that add up over time.

People who reach out will find a collaborative process. He supports people as they clarify values, set achievable steps, and practice new ways of coping. The aim is clearer decisions, less overwhelm, and a steadier sense of purpose.

How these approaches translate to online work

Michael uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy in straightforward ways. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical changes and clear next steps to improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps the person make steady progress.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work on specific skills from wherever they are, practice new ways of thinking between meetings, and move at a pace that suits everyday life.
