Michael Strazi, LPC

Michael Strazi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 23 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He also supports those dealing with trauma, abuse, motivation challenges, and low self-esteem.

He approaches work with the view that each person knows their own story best. He looks for strengths the client already has and builds on them. Sessions focus on practical steps that people can use between meetings to feel steadier and more in control.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and encouragement to try things that fit their life. Michael frames challenges as problems to be worked on together rather than fixed overnight. He aims to make progress in clear, manageable steps.

Over two decades of practice have included many common life stresses and mood concerns. That background helps him recognize patterns and suggest options that have helped others in similar situations. He treats each person with respect and listens for what matters most to them.

People often come for help with workplace pressure, panic and phobias, family of origin issues, substance concerns, and post-traumatic stress. He also addresses communication problems and social anxiety. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy

Many people benefit from therapies that focus on practical, evidence-based techniques. One common approach emphasizes identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and mood problems, then testing small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. This method is useful for panic, social anxiety, and mood disorders.

Another helpful approach teaches skills for managing strong emotions and building healthy routines. It often includes straightforward strategies for handling stress, improving sleep, and improving communication. These strategies can support recovery from trauma and help with substance-related concerns.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is conversational and focused on what works in the client’s everyday life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family obligations, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins on busy days. They can also make it simpler to continue care when schedules change, while still allowing the therapist and client to focus on concrete skills and steady progress.
