About Michael
Michael Strazi is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Mississippi with 23 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Michael also addresses communication problems, substance-related concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, and workplace stress.
He frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than abstract theory. Conversations often include examining how past family roles and expectations still shape current reactions and choices, including family of origin issues when relevant.
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people recognize patterns, practice new behaviors, and reduce overwhelming symptoms. He talks through specific strategies for managing panic, calming anxiety, and improving communication at work or in close relationships. When substance use is involved, he addresses both immediate coping and longer-term behavior change.
With two decades of work behind him, Michael blends straightforward feedback with chances to try different ways of responding. Sessions are intended to be focused and goal-oriented, with regular check-ins on progress and adjustments as needed. He encourages small, concrete changes that can fit into daily life.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Many of Michael’s methods are evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-focused strategies look at the thoughts that drive anxiety and mood problems and teach practical ways to test and change those thoughts to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Behavioral approaches concentrate on changing reactions through practice. This can include step-by-step exposure for panic or phobias, and behavioral activation for depression to increase engagement with meaningful activities.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michael collaborates with clients to identify goals, tries methods that match those goals, and adjusts the plan as needed. The client’s feedback guides which techniques are emphasized over time.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may also be better suited to brief coaching-style work while others support longer skill-building sessions. Ask about the available session lengths and how they can be scheduled to fit your routine.
