About Michael
Michael Fronk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 9 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, family concerns, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
He focuses on how patterns from the family someone grew up in still affect their choices today. Sessions tend to look at family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and patterns such as codependency or avoidance. Michael uses practical conversation and reflection to help people notice repeating habits and responses that cause friction in relationships or daily life.
His style draws from client-centered and attachment-based ideas, so the work is usually conversational and focused on the person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when concrete skills or behavior changes are helpful, for example with anxiety or substance use. Existential ideas are sometimes brought in to address meaning, choices, and responsibility.
In sessions he encourages direct talk about communication problems, boundaries, control issues, and commitment fears. He also helps people work through family conflict and feelings of abandonment or emptiness that come from childhood dynamics.
Michael practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. He asks new clients to use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment, and notes subscription billing that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches for online sessions and how they help
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early family roles shape current reactions. It can help with trust, closeness, abandonment fears, and recurring relationship cycles.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. Sessions emphasize open conversation, reflection, and the client's priorities to explore feelings and decisions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood shifts, and habits related to substance use.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using attachment ideas for relationship patterns and CBT or DBT skills for stress or coping in daily life.
