About Michael
Michael (Mike) Dyson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with more than 20 years of experience. He combines therapy and coaching to help people handle stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. Mike works to make the first step less daunting and encourages straightforward conversation about what’s going on in daily life.
He draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are part of his toolbox for building momentum and clarity. Sessions focus on practical steps and small shifts that add up over time.
Mike has worked in a range of settings, including faith-based communities, and brings that variety into how he tailors support. He helps people with self-esteem, workplace strain, and compassion fatigue as well as communication and relationship challenges tied to separation or divorce. Money and financial issues are listed among his additional focus areas and are addressed alongside other life stressors.
His style is direct but empathetic. He aims for an open space where thoughts can be said out loud without judgment. Many clients come in wanting clearer goals or better motivation, and he combines coaching strategies with clinical methods to help make those changes practical.
To get started, he asks people to consider what they want to change and to be ready to try small experiments between sessions. The work often includes brief exercises, thought records, and values-based planning to keep progress moving forward.
How Michael integrates ACT, CBT, and mindfulness online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters and take committed action toward those values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by worry and wants to live more in line with their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors one step at a time, which can ease anxiety and improve confidence.
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment. It can help with stress, compassion fatigue, and staying steady during change.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. That means trying techniques, reviewing what worked, and adjusting the plan together.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, shorten travel time, and allow people to use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can also use goal-focused homework and brief exercises between sessions to keep progress moving.
