About Michael

Michael Capre is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who uses client-centered care to help people regain a sense of control. He focuses on clear goals, practical steps, and building insight so people can manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. His style is direct and supportive while keeping conversations focused on what matters to each person.

He has nine years of clinical experience across outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings. That background means he has seen many forms of depression, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, disruptive or impulse-control issues, substance-related problems, and personality symptoms. He now focuses his work on adolescents and adults who are dealing with depressive, anxiety, or personality symptoms.

In sessions he helps people identify their values and set small, achievable steps toward change. He uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns, along with existential questions about meaning and choice. Those approaches are used to reduce reactive behavior and improve emotional regulation.

Michael also supports people navigating life changes such as divorce, parenting strain, grief, career shifts, and questions about identity. He brings attention to attachment and codependency patterns when they show up in relationships. He aims to help clients move from feeling stuck to making choices that match their values.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters, and helps people set goals that feel right to them. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and anger where being heard matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions use practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address reactive anger. CBT can help people try different responses and notice what works.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since they are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them maintain continuity of care during life changes while still working on practical coping skills and emotional insight.
