How Michael’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on values and small, value-driven actions that move life in a chosen direction and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts, change patterns, and try new actions that reduce symptoms over time. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. It creates space for someone to explore concerns at their own pace while building self-understanding and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. He adapts methods as needed, combining techniques that match what feels useful and doable for the client.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep the visual connection of in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or fit brief conversations into a busy day. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
