Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns - it is often applied to anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, helping clients explore feelings and build self-understanding in a nonjudgmental environment. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills that can reduce stress and improve emotional balance.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michael works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and he adjusts techniques as progress unfolds.
