About Michael
Michael (Mike) Dyson is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical and coaching experience. He has worked in a range of settings, including within the faith-based community, and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, motivation, confidence, and major life changes.
Mike blends therapy and coaching to address practical goals. He focuses on day-to-day coping skills and mindset shifts rather than abstract theory. Sessions are conversational and goal-minded, with attention to how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings like guilt and shame.
Clients often come for help with workplace stress, career transitions, or relationship strain after separation. He also supports people who feel isolated, empty, or stuck while they consider life purpose and direction. Money and financial worries, self-esteem, and men’s issues are within his typical caseload.
His methods draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. That means he uses practical exercises, check-in questions, and short skills practice to build new habits and clearer thinking. Expect straightforward feedback and concrete steps between sessions.
Mike mentions experience coaching executives and professionals toward measurable goals. People seeking both therapeutic support and coaching-style accountability may find that combination helpful when they want to change patterns or move toward specific outcomes.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions using ACT can support clients wrestling with guilt, shame, or life changes by focusing on what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks habits of thought and behavior into manageable steps and practical experiments. CBT work online can include short exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting.Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals and preferences. That means trying different tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commuting time. Many people find remote sessions useful for steady habit practice, focused skill work, and maintaining momentum between meetings.
