I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of New York with 25 years of experience in counseling, crisis intervention, and community mental health.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Mike is super awesome - best therapist I've ever had. Super hands on approach offering many skills - but ultimately a great guideline to getting to the bottom of core beliefs and CBT.

Mike has been great in helping me cope with and gradually come out of my depression. He has been supportive but also directive when he needs to be. I recommend him without reservation.

Mike is a professional providing valuable insight and a down to earth, no nonsense approach that's just right for me. The intensity is just right and can't recall ever a shallow discussion. I originally thought "digital therapy" would not work for me based on my first experiences with it. I want to add, for those out there in similar situations, I'm a father of two children, operate a growing business, and am in process of divorce. In late 2022, BetterHelp's filtering presented Mike. Mike's level of support and appreciated what he's provided over the past year is invaluable. I highly recommend Mike, especially in the areas of divorce/relationships and family.

I recently had the privilege of working with Mike Miano, and I cannot express enough how transformative and positive my therapeutic experience has been. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt a sense of warmth and genuine compassion that set the tone for our sessions. Mike possesses a remarkable ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space where one can explore their thoughts and emotions freely. His empathetic nature and active listening skills fostered an environment where I felt truly heard and understood. Throughout our sessions, I found Mike's insightful guidance to be both comforting and enlightening, allowing me to gain valuable insights into my own patterns of thinking and behavior. One of Mike's standout qualities is his adaptability in tailoring his therapeutic approach to meet individual needs. Whether delving into deep-rooted issues or addressing more immediate concerns, he seamlessly navigated the complexities of my experiences, offering practical strategies and coping mechanisms that proved to be invaluable in my daily life. Mike's expertise in various therapeutic modalities is evident, and he skillfully integrates them to create a personalized and holistic treatment plan. His genuine commitment to my well-being was evident in the thoughtful strategies he employed to help me navigate challenges and foster personal growth. Beyond his professional competence, Mike exudes a rare combination of authenticity and kindness. His warm demeanor and unwavering support made each session a collaborative journey towards self-discovery and healing. I felt empowered to confront challenges head-on, armed with the tools and insights Mike provided. In my time with Mike, I witnessed not only a skilled therapist but also a dedicated advocate for mental health. His passion for the well-being of his clients is palpable, and it undoubtedly contributes to the positive and transformative experiences that unfold within the therapeutic relationship. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Mike Miano to anyone seeking a compassionate, insightful, and highly effective therapist. He is a true professional who possesses the unique ability to guide individuals on their journey to emotional well-being, making a profound and lasting impact on the lives of those fortunate enough to work with him.

Michael M is excellent. he listens and hears, in between, the lines. I feel like we have made great progress in a short period. I completely recommend him.

Reviewed November 2022

Mike is really great. I am so lucky to have met him, especially never had therapy before and not sure I really even needed it. He is very personable, thoughtful and easy to talk to, and even after I drone on with a number of non sequiturs, it is amazing how he is able to pick up on even the slightest thing I say and put it in perfect context. After only a few sessions discussing a fairly multifaceted issue, I can tell that Mike is really, really good at his profession. Very highly recommend him, as long as it doesn't make it harder for me to schedule a session with him. ;)
