Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and respect for the client’s own goals. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-discovery, which can be particularly helpful for issues like identity, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT is often used to address anxiety, stress, compulsive behaviours, and patterns that fuel low mood or relationship difficulties.
The Gottman Method offers structured tools for couples to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild intimacy. It is useful for partners dealing with trust issues, infidelity, or ongoing relational stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will work with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may integrate elements from different approaches to tailor the work.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, during work breaks, or while managing caregiving and travel, helping therapy fit into real life without sacrificing continuity of care.
