Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Rev. Michael Abell uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client's own goals guide the work - this approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions by focusing on individual strengths and values.
He also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping skills for stress and cravings.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rev. Abell works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance means the therapist and client tailor the plan together and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to fit care into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of support from home or work. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to suit different communication styles and therapeutic goals, making it easier to access consistent, effective care.
