About Michael
Michael Majer is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with three years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and concerns related to LGBT identity. He also helps people who carry guilt and shame and those trying to make sense of isolation or life purpose.
Michael focuses on straightforward, collaborative work. He talks things through with clients and helps identify patterns that keep problems going. Conversations often look at anxious thoughts, mood shifts, or behavior that gets in the way of daily life.
He also supports people managing chronic health issues, caregiver stress, and the practical strain of money or work problems. He addresses panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, dissociation, and trauma-related symptoms in clear, step-by-step ways.
Michael names authenticity and respect as the basis of his approach. He works with clients to set realistic goals and to test small changes between sessions. The emphasis is on useful skills and clearer thinking rather than abstract theory.
Sessions are conducted in English and are focused on helping an individual make sense of difficult feelings and actions. If someone is unsure whether his approach fits, he asks questions, listens, and adjusts the plan together with the client.
How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together
Michael uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. That might include methods that teach people to recognize anxious or self-critical thoughts and to test those thoughts against real-life evidence, helping reduce worry and repetitive negative thinking.He also works with skills to manage strong emotions and intense reactions. These practical exercises help people tolerate distressing feelings, reduce panic or overwhelm, and create small changes in daily routines that improve mood and concentration.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michael treats the selection of methods as a collaborative process, asking about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then adjusting techniques based on the client’s needs.

Others prefer longer visits for deeper work; discussing timing and rhythm before the first session helps plan what will fit into everyday life.
