Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and issues tied to avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic relationship in which the client’s own goals guide the work; it supports self-exploration and growth for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to recognize and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often helping with panic, obsessive thinking, mood difficulties, and coping with stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michael collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - giving flexibility to fit work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from different locations including international clients, and continue therapy during busy or changing schedules while working with licensed professionals trained in these approaches.
