About Michael
Dr. Michael Black is a Colorado psychologist with 20 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He speaks English and works with clients on issues like parenting strain, intimacy challenges, career transitions, grief, and coping with life changes.
He aims to create straightforward, respectful conversations that fit each person's needs. He tailors sessions to practical goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. People can expect clear talk about what matters now and small steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Dr. Black combines different approaches depending on the concern, including methods that focus on emotions, attachment patterns, and problem-solving skills. His background includes two decades of clinical work in Colorado where he has supported people through divorce and separation, blended family stresses, caregiver strain, and issues around infidelity and commitment.
He also helps with fatherhood questions, family of origin problems, and forgiveness work. In sessions he draws on client-centered listening to understand priorities, cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and actions, and relationship-focused tools to improve communication. The Gottman Method is part of his toolkit for relationship work when it fits the client's goals.
Appointments can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Using relationship and attachment approaches online
Dr. Black commonly draws on the Gottman Method to address communication problems and relationship patterns, offering tools to reduce conflict and improve connection. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early bonds shape current reactions and closeness, which can be useful for intimacy and trust issues. Client-Centered Therapy is part of his work too, providing steady listening and support while clients set their own goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what matters most, then choose methods that match those priorities. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when they want visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide flexibility for short updates, scheduling, or quick reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
