About Michael

Michael Bombka is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He speaks English and accepts international clients, offering sessions in a variety of remote formats to fit different schedules. He approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Conversations are shaped to fit each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings alongside open, honest talk about what matters to you.

Background and approach

His work draws on narrative ideas that look at the stories people tell about themselves. He uses client-centered listening to make space for your experience. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood.

He also pays attention to attachment themes - how early and current relationships affect trust and safety in close connections. Existential questions about meaning and purpose come into play when people are feeling stuck or unsure about their direction. Michael aims to tailor the approach to each person’s goals.

He will shape sessions so you can practice new skills, try different perspectives, and track small changes over time. Starting therapy is a step toward more manageable days and clearer choices. People who prefer working online can use video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit therapy into their life.

Michael supports clients in selecting the format that best matches their needs and daily routine.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Michael blends Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories you tell about yourself and helps reframe those stories so they feel less limiting. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how past and current relationships shape trust and closeness, which can help with relationship worries and anxious responses. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where your priorities shape the work and pace.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will discuss different methods with you, try options, and adjust based on your goals and comfort. Together you decide which ideas and techniques to emphasize so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video works well when visual interaction helps, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing, brief check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or travel and let you keep momentum even when life is busy.
