Therapeutic approaches Mike brings to online therapy
Mike integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Mindfulness techniques to support clients online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their feelings and goals at their own pace - this approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful life changes. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills that can reduce emotional reactivity and help manage symptoms such as anxiety and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mike works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He can adapt methods and combine techniques so the plan evolves as progress is made, and he is comfortable coordinating with other licensed professionals or therapists when that benefits a client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives or when in-person visits are not possible. These options allow clients to access consistent support from different locations and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
