Mike Godby Therapy
Licensed psychotherapist providing online therapy in California
I'm Mike Godby, licensed psychotherapist.
Life can be meaningful and joyful, but it can also leave us feeling stuck and disconnected from ourselves. Sometimes that unease shows up as anxiety or depression, signals from a deeper part of us that we may be out of alignment or living from old wounds and limiting beliefs. In our work together, I will walk alongside you as you face what has been buried, reconnect with who you really are, and move toward a life that feels authentic and aligned.
About Me
My name is Mike Godby, LMFT.
I am a licensed therapist based in California. I help people who are feeling stuck, burned out, or disconnected find their way back to themselves. My clients are often deep thinkers, sensitive souls, or people going through major transitions—whether it's career shifts, relationships, fatherhood, or spiritual awakening. Some come with anxiety or depression. Others come with a quiet ache that life could be more meaningful, more alive.
I bring a grounded, compassionate presence to therapy, integrating evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness with depth-oriented methods inspired by Gestalt, and the inner work of people like Carl Jung. I also draw on my background in school-based mental health, spiritual psychology, and somatic practices.
In our work together, I won't just sit back and nod. I’ll meet you with curiosity, honesty, and care—and gently challenge you when needed. You’ll be invited to feel more, think differently, and explore the parts of you that might be buried, dismissed, or waiting to be known.
If you're ready to navigate your inner world with more clarity and courage—or if you’re just curious to begin—I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
