Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Michael Witham integrates client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral methods and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to address a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients clarify their own goals so they can make changes that feel right for them - it is well suited for issues like grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping strategies, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and decision-making difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering tools for managing intense emotions and improving impulse control.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This partnership helps ensure treatment is both practical and personally meaningful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered - by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to connect across distances. Licensed professionals can provide the same therapeutic techniques through these formats, allowing clients to access care in ways that match their lifestyle and needs.
