Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Michael often uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes understanding each person’s experience and building a collaborative, respectful relationship where the client’s goals shape the work. This approach is useful for people seeking empathic support and a personalized pace for change.

He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop more effective coping strategies. CBT is commonly used for stress, anxiety, and depression and can produce clear skills for managing daily challenges.

Mindfulness therapy is another tool he incorporates to help people increase present-moment awareness, manage emotional reactivity, and reduce rumination. Mindfulness techniques can complement other approaches and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michael works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts strategies over time as goals evolve and progress is made.

Online therapy with Michael is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, limited mobility, or those who prefer remote sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional who adapts treatment to each individual.
