Michael Schwing

Michael Schwing is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles. He also supports clients facing career questions and major life changes.

He works in a respectful, down-to-earth way. Sessions focus on what each person needs right now and how to move forward. Michael listens first, then shapes the plan to fit practical goals and daily life.

Over two decades of practice have given him a wide range of experience. He uses straightforward approaches to help people manage emotions, handle setbacks, and rebuild confidence. Many people come for help after a loss, a breakdown in communication, or when stress becomes too much.

His approach mixes client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are also part of his toolkit. Together these methods help people spot unhelpful patterns and try small, manageable changes.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Michael emphasizes clear steps you can take between meetings. He encourages people to bring what matters most to them and to set realistic, useful goals for change.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard, name their priorities, and set personal goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and introduces concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and ease depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and life. That choice can change over time as progress and new needs emerge.

The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people practice new skills in their everyday environment and bring real situations into discussion. Licensed professionals tailor the mix of approaches and pacing to match each person's needs and availability.
