Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Change
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and the client's own resources. In practice this means Michael creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work, which can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical skills and strategies. This approach is well-suited to addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching concrete tools to manage symptoms and pursue goals.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding the effects of traumatic experiences and developing coping skills to reduce their ongoing impact. It supports people who are processing past trauma, abuse, or related symptoms by offering structured, evidence-informed techniques tailored to individual needs.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Michael is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent treatment, access care from home, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life.
