Background and approach
Michael blends talk-based work with targeted techniques to help reduce distress and build clearer routines. He pays attention to how culture, identity, and discrimination shape a person’s experience. That means conversations may include how external pressures, prejudice, or life transitions affect mood and relationships.
He also has experience with issues such as postpartum depression, seasonal mood changes, and process addictions like gambling or compulsive exercise. Michael works with people navigating infidelity, non-monogamous relationship arrangements, personality disorder symptoms, and the challenges that come with aging. He emphasizes respect for each person’s values while helping them make concrete changes that fit their life.
His approach is collaborative and direct. He listens closely, suggests options, and adjusts plans based on what actually helps. People can expect straightforward sessions focused on reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning.
Approaches that can be used in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It often involves setting small, practical goals and practicing new skills between sessions to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, uses structured processing to help people work through traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. Sessions combine focused memory work with guided attention methods to help people feel less overwhelmed by past events.
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and values when people face life transitions or deep questions about purpose. It helps people clarify what matters to them and make decisions that fit their beliefs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, comfort level, and what proves helpful in early sessions. Treatment plans are adjusted over time to match progress and changing needs.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for full sessions when face-to-face interaction matters, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can be a quick way to check in or keep momentum between meetings. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences.
