Michael Rooney, LPC

Michael Rooney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and life changes. He writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. He aims to make therapy a place to learn tools and reach clear goals. With 24 years of experience in counseling, he brings long-term practice in both clinical settings and private work in Colorado. He uses straightforward, skill-focused methods that teach new ways to manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions emphasize steps clients can practice between meetings. His background includes work with many kinds of concerns, from addiction and anger to parenting and relationship strains. He also has experience supporting people affected by traumatic brain injury, chronic illness, autism, intellectual disability, and veteran-related issues. That range informs his practical approach to solving everyday problems. Therapy sessions are grounded in client-centered care, where the person sets the pace and priorities. Cognitive-behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Trauma-focused work addresses past harms in ways that aim to reduce their hold on current life. Michael aims to be collaborative and direct. He helps people set measurable goals, practices skills in-session, and checks progress over time.
