I am licensed in Michigan with 22 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, anger management, depression, & coping with life changes.
I focus on helping people change themselves for the better. I use specific, short-term, solution-focused treatment techniques based on insight and behavioral change. I work with a wide range of presenting problems and mood disorders including depression / grief, anxiety/phobias, anger management, adjustment, bipolar and obsessive-compulsive disorders. I focus on rapport and utilization of a client's strengths as a therapeutic foundation.
My role is to facilitate real change in people by helping them to hear what they need to hear, in a way that they are able to accept it, even if it is difficult. This acceptance of reality is critical to creating permanent positive changes in people's lives.
I believe that the mind and body are deeply connected, and that optimal mental health cannot be achieved without proper nutrition and physical health. I also believe in the power of the conscious as well as the unconscious mind to relieve symptoms and make lasting changes.
Additional areas of focus: Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Life purpose, Men's issues, Mood disorders, Self-love
Clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Schneider. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Michael was great. Helped at a time when I needed direction and got me pointed in the right direction. Self care and self reflection. Insurance kicked in so I did not get many visits with Michael but when I was with him, he was great.

Same as my previous reviews. Michael is a perfect match for my needs and has helped me improve myself and my relationship significantly over the course of this last 12 months. This is my first ever therapy. And it has helped me become a better communicator, better understand and address my flaws, have deeper conversations with my wife, understand what she needs to feel stronger in our relationship, handle challenging family and friend dynamics, and focus on better addressing life challenges overall. There isn’t a single topic we’ve discussed that Michael didn’t have helpful or insightful feedback on.

Michael was a great listener and was able to communicate with me about my experiences and feelings in a professional and positive manner. He gave me great insight and advice about how to move forward and stay positive. Reminded me to be sure to take care of myself in the process. I am so glad I started this process and am excited for the next session. The journaling is a great part of this process too, to be able to write it down and share with my Therapist.. LOVE this!
