About Michael

Michael Bombka is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and low self-esteem. He aims to make the first step easier by offering steady support and practical tools. He talks plainly and listens closely so clients feel heard from the start.

His approach is built around the client’s needs. Sessions are tailored to what each person brings in - no one-size-fits-all plans.

Background and approach

Michael mixes conversational therapy with structured techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections affect current relationships and safety. He also uses client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

When trauma is present, he may incorporate EMDR-informed strategies alongside other work. Michael keeps the work practical. That can mean short skills practice, homework to try between sessions, or focused conversations to sort priorities.

He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. People who choose him often want a straightforward, steady guide through difficult feelings and life transitions. He helps set realistic steps and adjusts the plan as progress happens.

Online support

Attachment work and practical therapy online

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds shape how people relate now, and it helps when relationship patterns cause stress or affect self-worth. Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's pace, offering empathy and space to talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers simple exercises to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will ask about your goals and past experiences, then suggest methods that seem likely to help. Together you can try an approach and adjust it if it doesn't feel like the right fit, so the plan evolves with your needs.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins, short skills practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, errands, or family routines.
