About Michael
Michael Tidstrand is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem struggles. He offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence so clients can speak honestly about what’s hard. He aims to help people find clearer footing during life changes and when compassion fatigue, bipolar symptoms, or ADHD symptoms make daily life harder.
Michael draws on ten years of clinical experience and uses listening, curiosity, and reflection in sessions. He uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to notice thought patterns and from mindfulness-based ideas to build steadier attention. Attachment-informed ideas guide work on relationships and patterns that repeat over time.
In meetings, he focuses on small, concrete steps people can try between sessions. The work often includes noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new responses, and building routines that reduce overwhelm. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Michael also supports people working through grief and major life transitions by helping them name what’s most painful and what matters next. He encourages developing self-kindness and realistic goals rather than pushing for quick fixes. His aim is steady progress that fits a client’s life.
People interested in beginning work will be guided through a simple intake and scheduling process. Sessions are offered in English and Michael accepts international clients; prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
