Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Support
Michael integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered principles to tailor care to each person's needs. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and build a meaningful life through committed action - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. CBT teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood concerns. Client-centered therapy prioritizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance so clients feel heard and guided at their own pace.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Michael works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods and techniques best fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. He adjusts strategies over time as needs evolve so therapy remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage caregiving or work commitments, and maintain continuity of care across locations. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support while accommodating the practical realities of each person’s life.
