About Michael
Michael Yuille is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 34 years of practice. He focuses on practical, goal-focused support for people facing work and wellbeing concerns, addictions, trauma, and parenting stress. He aims to help clients get clearer about what they want and take steady steps toward those goals.
Across his career he has worked in areas that include child and family mental health, military family support, men’s work, addictions treatment, and executive coaching. He also has experience with interventions for intimate partner violence and helping people repair or change difficult relationship patterns. He holds a Master of Social Work and degrees in developmental psychology and philosophy.
Michael favors straightforward, skills-based work that helps people build tools they can use day to day. He offers guidance on coping with life changes, managing panic and social anxiety, and addressing workplace stress. He also supports clients through divorce, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions typically focus on clear goals, practical strategies, and steady progress rather than abstract theory. He has served as a practicum supervisor with the William Glasser Institute since 1993, which reflects long‑term involvement in training and mentorship.
People who want direct coaching-style support and concrete skills for everyday problems may find his approach a good match. If you are considering support for addictions, trauma, parenting strain, or workplace issues, he can help you sort priorities and plan next steps.
Evidence-based techniques and online support
Michael's biography notes use of several evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective alternatives; this can help with panic, social anxiety, and workplace stress. Narrative-informed work emphasizes the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, helping reframe problems like guilt, shame, or life-purpose questions.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation often begins in early sessions and can shift as goals change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access help while managing work demands or family commitments, so therapy can be integrated into everyday life rather than added as something extra.
