Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Michael often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective, offering empathy and acceptance to help build self-esteem and strengthen relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy supports learning present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Michael works collaboratively with people to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. He tailors techniques from different approaches so the work feels practical and aligned with each person’s priorities.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and can make it easier to fit therapy into busy or caregiving-filled lives. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to offer consistent, ongoing support that fits the practical realities of clients seeking help.
