Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental connection that centers the client’s experience. The therapist listens deeply, reflects understanding, and supports clients as they uncover their own solutions and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression. It is action-oriented and often useful for symptom reduction and skill-building. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change strategies to help people manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behavior, and improve interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Michael works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can evolve as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit regular care into busy schedules, maintain continuity across life changes, and access licensed professionals from the client’s preferred location.
