About Michael Northsea
In 2015 Michael was diagnosed with testicular cancer and treated with chemotherapy. Two years later he developed acute promyelocytic leukemia, which he learned was a side effect of the earlier treatment. After a prolonged and dangerous hospital stay he pursued a different path that emphasized naturalistic healing through food, herbs, and lifestyle changes. He reports that these changes helped him recover and that the experience profoundly altered how he approaches counseling.
That personal journey informs a holistic, integrative practice. He describes his method as eclectic, drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical strategies, motivational interviewing, person-first perspectives, and approaches like the Emotion Code. He emphasizes that talk therapy alone is rarely sufficient and encourages practices such as meditation, regular exercise, and whole-food nutrition as complementary tools to support mood and overall well-being.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the individual as the expert on their own experience and relies on an accepting, supportive therapist stance to help people explore goals and values; it is useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning, and it is often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, making it helpful for addictions and behavioral shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michael Northsea works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. That partnership helps ensure the work feels relevant and practical.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and access ongoing support from therapists without needing to travel.
