Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and patterns that get in the way of living a meaningful life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build understanding and self-directed growth - this approach supports people coping with grief, trauma, and low self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to support recovery from addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself. Michael works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients participate in decisions about focus and technique throughout care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, adapt pacing, and provide support between sessions, increasing accessibility and consistency for clients seeking help.
