Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Personal Growth
Dr. Michael Schmit commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where goals emerge collaboratively - it is helpful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. CBT addresses the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with practical strategies to reduce depression, anxiety, and unhelpful patterns. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors, which can be especially useful for stress, anger, and some trauma-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Schmit works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.
