About Michael
Michael Fillipon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem. He emphasizes a straightforward, nonjudgmental approach that encourages honest conversation. He aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for someone who may be feeling unsure or nervous.
In sessions he focuses on building a space where thoughts and feelings can be named and examined. He listens for patterns that keep people feeling stuck and works on practical steps to change those patterns. This can include practicing clearer communication, addressing social anxiety, or building confidence after trauma.
He has worked with concerns related to trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and depression, and he brings that experience into how he plans sessions and sets goals. He pays attention to the ways isolation and loneliness affect mood and relationships. He also addresses men’s issues and self-love when these topics come up in conversation.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to skills you can try between meetings. Michael helps people break larger problems into small, doable steps. He encourages checking progress and adjusting strategies when something is not working.
He practices in California and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
