Approaches Michael Uses in Online Therapy

Michael draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a collaborative relationship and respectful listening so clients can explore their values, emotions, and relationship goals; this approach is especially useful for family, intimacy, and communication concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, anger, and stress, offering practical tools for day-to-day coping. Mindfulness therapy supports learning present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can help with stress management, chronic pain, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Michael works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so treatment remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations within his service area, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client.
