Getting to know Michael Fox

Hi there, I'm Michael! I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP) in Washington State. I help teens and adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and substance use concerns using CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and a supportive, practical approach. My focus I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and co-occurring substance use concerns. I support clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps by helping them build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward lasting, meaningful change. My approach My approach is supportive, collaborative, and goal-focused. I use CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and person-centered care to help clients better understand patterns, build coping skills, and create meaningful change. I aim to provide a practical, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. My communication style My communication style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable being honest and understood. I balance empathy with practical feedback and work alongside clients at a pace that feels manageable and respectful. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into clinical social work grew from a desire to support people through difficult, complex moments with compassion and practical guidance. Over time, my work in behavioral health, substance use, and crisis services shaped my belief that people can heal, grow, and build meaningful change when they feel understood and supported. My goals for you I help clients reach their goals by creating a supportive, structured space to identify patterns, build coping skills, and develop practical strategies for change. Together, we set realistic goals, track progress, and focus on small, meaningful steps that build confidence and long-term growth.
