Michael Cooksie
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana and Utah. I help my clients overcome challenges that stand in the way of living a happier and healthier life congruent with their values and aspirations. I have clinical experience working with those suffering from relationship problems, low-self esteem, addiction and anxiety and depression. I am also a career development facilitator. I guide my clients through interviewing techniques, job search and resume building techniques. I previously worked as career development facilitator for the US Army in Germany and at West Point, NY.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session we will get to know one another and assess and prioritize the things that are most important for success. What is the low hanging fruit? What are some simple things that we might be able to do to lead you to feeling better and making progress?
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I work to get to know as much as I can about all of my clients. I want to understand everything about the dynamics of your environment. We will talk about your history, feelings, values and dreams. I give personalized guidance based on each situation.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I have experience serving a wide range of clients and pride myself in a thoughtful supportive and positive approach that focuses on strengths and works to recognize gratitudes and overcome resentments and behaviors that are contrary to achieving positive goals. Overall, I work with clients who need supportive motivation and can help to establish new goals an gently motivate to achieve personal and professional goals.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Using a sincere and genuine approach, we will talk about different aspects of your life to identify the best way to help you move forward! Be true to yourself by discovering and applying your values, emotions and logic to make the best decisions. Using Socratic questioning, we seek to prove or disapprove those beliefs that you have that are not leading to desired outcomes. We will challenge the negative beliefs that you have about yourself and stand in the way of achieving a happier life.
Motivational Interviewing
Using a collaborative and goal oriented style to strengthen motivation and make positive changes.
