About Michael
Prof. Michael Feldler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 38 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life challenges.
His manner is calm and direct, focused on listening and understanding what matters to each person. He uses a mix of Jungian ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based approaches, client-centered care, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Background and approach
Sessions aim to uncover both the immediate problem and deeper patterns that keep it returning. He pays attention to motivation, personal meaning, and how past experiences shape present behavior. Feldler has long experience in clinical and teaching roles, including supervising students in college-based mental health training clinics.
That work informs a reflective, educative style in sessions where learning about oneself is part of the process. He also has experience with trauma and addiction work. Practical skills are part of the work alongside exploration.
Clients can expect tools for coping, strategies for behavior change, and conversations about values and goals. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. He offers online session formats including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs.
People who prefer to work by talking, writing, or a mix of both can find ways to make therapy fit their life.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Work
Jungian Therapy focuses on symbols, dreams, and personal meaning to help people understand deeper life patterns and inner conflicts; it can be useful when someone wants insight into recurring themes or a stronger sense of identity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals; it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and reactions, which can help with intimacy concerns and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often blend exploration and practical strategies so that insight and skill-building happen together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and observing nonverbal cues; phone calls can be lighter on bandwidth and easier during a break from work; live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, journaling-style reflection, or people who prefer to write. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and choose the way they communicate best.
