    About Michael

    Michael (Mike) Dyson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with more than 20 years of experience. He combines therapy and coaching to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He often supports clients who want clearer purpose, more motivation, or help rebuilding confidence.

    Mike has worked in a range of settings, including the faith-based community, and has provided executive and professional coaching. He frames difficult moments as chances to learn practical steps forward. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person wants to change in daily life.

    His approach includes tools from Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. He uses these methods to help people notice thoughts, choose valued directions, and make small changes that add up over time.

    People who prefer a straightforward, goal-oriented style may find his mix of coaching and counseling useful. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space so clients can talk through doubts and try new strategies. Mike encourages realistic steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

    Signing up for therapy can feel like a big step, and he acknowledges that courage. He asks people to identify what matters most to them, then helps plan doable actions to move toward those goals.

  2. How his approaches work in online therapy

    Many of his core methods translate well to remote work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person's own reasons for change by asking open questions and reflecting what they say. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values; it often helps with life purpose and coping during transitions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and day-to-day constraints. Together they try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time rather than assuming one method fits everyone.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to schedule around work or family, reduce travel time, and allow practical check-ins between meetings. Some clients like shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when they need less screen time; others use full conversations to practice new skills in real time.
