Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Michael Keller uses several evidence-informed approaches tailored to individual needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking action that aligns with what matters most - an approach often used for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related struggles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their own solutions, which can be helpful for improving self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, commonly applied for mood disorders, trauma responses, and anger management.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Michael works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and he adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Michael is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and needs. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, manage appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities, and access a licensed professional from different locations when appropriate.
