About Michael
Michael Tidstrand is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who supports people coping with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly and make sense of difficult feelings. He draws on both professional training and personal experience to relate to the ups and downs people face.
He works in a straightforward, conversational way. Sessions often include listening, reflection, and practical tools to manage moods and daily challenges. He uses mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns.
Michael also brings in approaches that focus on relationships and emotional experience. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current connections. Dialectical and acceptance-oriented techniques teach skills for tolerating strong emotions and making values-based choices.
He holds a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and has practiced for 10 years as an LPCC in California. That background guides how he structures sessions and tailors strategies to each person’s needs.
People who choose to work with him can expect collaboration on goals and regular check-ins about progress. He aims to help clients build coping skills, reduce distress, and find clearer directions for daily life.
