About Michael
Michael Majer is a Licensed Independent Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and ADHD.

He helps those juggling caregiver responsibilities, money worries, and workplace stress. He can work with people adjusting to chronic pain, illness, dissociation, or autism spectrum experiences.
Michael brings three years of clinical experience as an Ohio LISW, Licensed Independent Social Worker. He aims to build an honest, respectful relationship in sessions and gives direct feedback when it helps. He encourages people to set concrete steps between meetings and to notice small gains.
People who choose him can expect practical talk, active problem solving, and a focus on everyday coping strategies. He frames therapy as collaborative work and aims to support clients toward clearer priorities and better daily functioning.
How evidence-based approaches fit into online care
Michael describes his work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach he uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer, more useful thoughts; this kind of work can reduce anxiety, mood problems, and worry-driven behaviors. Another approach emphasizes gradual exposure to reduce panic and obsessive-compulsive responses by facing feared situations in small, planned steps.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches that seem to fit. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
If you are considering online work, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule, make it easier to keep regular appointments, and reduce travel time. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or a full weekly hour depending on what the therapist and client decide together.
