Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Michael typically works from a client-centered perspective and with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), offering complementary ways of working that translate well to online formats. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space in which the client leads the pace and aims to strengthen self-understanding and personal growth; it is often helpful for issues like relationship difficulties, identity exploration and life transitions. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, making it useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Michael works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Over time the plan can be adapted so therapy remains relevant and responsive to change.
Online therapy with Michael is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from home or other convenient locations, sustain momentum between sessions and choose the mode of contact that feels most manageable for the client.
