About Michael
Michael Morar is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He brings nine years of clinical experience to his work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and depression. Michael aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where clients can talk through what matters to them and decide on practical next steps.
He keeps sessions conversational and straightforward. Michael listens for patterns that cause pain and helps clients try small, achievable changes.
Background and approach
He uses techniques like brief behavior experiments and focused conversations when those methods fit the situation. Michael draws on Jungian Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. He also uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to help people clarify values and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves.
These approaches guide sessions rather than dictate them, and Michael adapts methods to each person’s needs. People who reach out often want to reduce anxious thinking, regain control after loss or trauma, or address addictions and relationship conflicts. Michael helps break problems into manageable steps and supports people as they try new behaviors and perspectives.
Sessions can include quick practical exercises, reflective conversation, and planning between meetings. Michael emphasizes collaboration so clients leave with clear ideas about what to try next and how to measure progress.

Online support
How Jungian, Client-Centered, and Mindfulness Approaches Work Online
Jungian Therapy looks at personal symbols, dreams, and life stories to help people understand deeper patterns. Online sessions can use conversation and written reflections to notice those themes and try new meanings.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s experience without judgment. In an online visit this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, asks clarifying questions, and helps the person name what matters most to them.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices translate well to video or audio sessions and can include short guided exercises between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust course as progress is tracked.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or camera use isn’t wanted, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity across weeks.
