About Michael

Prof. Michael Feldler helps people who are juggling parenting with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, or changes in family life. He is Michael Feldler, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with nearly four decades of clinical experience in New York.

He speaks English and works with adults on practical, day-to-day challenges related to parenting and family dynamics. He uses straightforward talking and listening to find what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals - improving sleep, reducing anger, managing mood, or handling grief. He draws from approaches like cognitive behavioral work and client-centered listening to shape simple steps you can try between meetings. His background includes 38 years of work in multiple settings and 14 years teaching and supervising students in a college-based mental health training clinic.

That experience informs his work with issues such as trauma, addiction, attachment concerns, and mood disorders. The LMHC credential indicates his professional license in New York. In practice he aims to uncover both immediate problems and the deeper patterns behind them.

That means talking about current struggles, history, and how habits form in relationships and parenting. Clients can expect a mix of practical strategies and open conversation tailored to their situation. Sessions can address a wide range of concerns, from coping with life changes and compassion fatigue to intimacy-related issues and body image.

The focus is on useful tools and clearer choices so parents can handle day-to-day pressures more effectively.

Online support

How his approaches translate to online parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them while accepting difficult emotions. It can help when parenting feels overwhelming or when a parent wants clearer priorities amid stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thoughts, behaviors, and routines and offers practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It is useful for sleep, anxiety, mood, and anger problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early patterns affect current relationships and parenting, helping people notice how they connect and respond to others.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting what is most helpful for parenting concerns or related issues like trauma and addiction.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to stick with work on parenting, stress, and daily routines.
