Approaches that guide online sessions and what they do
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach he relies on helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and mood swings. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and aspects of bipolar management.Another approach emphasizes building coping skills and small behavioral changes. It targets urges, addictive behaviors, and anger by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing alternative behaviors. This method is helpful for addictions, process-related compulsions, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right way to work together is part of therapy. He collaborates with each person to choose which techniques to try based on their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist check in and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited.
