Michael Epstein

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 28 mi away • Sarasota, FL


Hi, I’m Michael, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 27 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate both difficult and meaningful life transitions.

Whether you’re struggling with stress, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, anxiety, or feeling stuck, I offer a compassionate, direct, practical, and occasionally humorous approach to therapy. My work is grounded in Systems Theory, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Cognitive-Behavioral strategies, helping clients better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that shape their lives.

I have extensive experience working with military families, first responders, and individuals facing crisis situations. My goal is to help you develop greater emotional resilience, stronger relationships, and practical tools that continue serving you long after therapy ends.

I strive to create a judgment-free environment where honest conversations can lead to meaningful change. I offer evening and weekend appointments and can occasionally accommodate other scheduling needs. As a single father, I raised three children over a 15-year period, an experience that deeply informs my understanding of life’s challenges and responsibilities. My Australian Shepherd service dog may occasionally be present during sessions unless you prefer otherwise.

My therapeutic approach is influenced by my clinical training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Saint Petersburg, FL

Searching for therapists in Saint Petersburg starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what they focus on, and what a first session may include.

In St. Petersburg, your search may include therapists near downtown, Historic Kenwood, Grand Central, Old Northeast, or nearby parts of Pinellas County. You may prefer an in-person office that fits your commute, or virtual therapy that works better with your schedule. Beyond location, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication styles, therapy structure, and experience with concerns like st. Petersburg counseling, couples counseling in St. Petersburg, FL, or individual therapy in St. Pete.

Therapy in Saint Petersburg can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you find therapists in St. Petersburg, FL who are accepting new patients and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
