Dr. Michael Galvin, CO Psychologist PSY.0000508

Dr. Michael Galvin offers long-term perspective from a career in Colorado-based psychology. He speaks plainly and aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, work issues, and identity concerns. He has practiced for decades and now carries that experience into selective client work and consulting.

He began his career working in a community mental health center and later ran a private practice. He has also taught and trained other therapists at three universities and worked in executive coaching. That background shaped a practical, problem-focused way of working.

Over the years he has used many traditional therapy methods and looked for approaches that produced faster, reliable change. His practice has included Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. He describes EMDR as a particularly powerful option for anxiety and trauma-related problems.

Dr. Galvin is a Colorado psychologist (CO Psychologist PSY.0000508) with 42 years of experience. He now mostly focuses on occasional client work, training, and consulting while keeping a small clinical load. He is available to speak with people about next steps toward care.

How these therapies translate to online work

EMDR can be delivered in ways that focus on processing distressing memories and reducing their intensity. It uses guided attention and bilateral stimulation to help people handle trauma- and anxiety-related symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills for noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and workplace stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. That plan can be adjusted over time as progress and needs become clearer.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in when people need shorter visits. Some formats may be preferable for quieter conversations, while others can work better for sessions that include guided exercises or longer processing work.
