Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with a Licensed Counselor
Michael Muniz frequently integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy into his work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist listens carefully and helps the client lead the pace and focus of sessions - this approach is useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) targets emotional patterns and interpersonal connections, which can help with relationship difficulties and improving emotional awareness.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michael collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life or to maintain continuity during transitions. These options help licensed professionals and therapists provide consistent care while accommodating different communication styles and scheduling needs.
