Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care
Michael Rooney integrates several well-established approaches to tailor treatment to each client's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that helps clients explore their values, perspectives, and goals while feeling heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences by helping clients process difficult memories and develop coping strategies to reduce their influence on daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Michael Rooney works with clients to evaluate which methods best match their concerns, goals, and personal preferences, and he adjusts techniques over time as progress is made. This teaming process helps ensure therapy fits the client's pace and priorities.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to maintain consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and engage in treatment from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to client-centered, goal-oriented care.
