Background and approach
He also uses elements of Internal Family Systems to help people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts affect feelings and choices. Many people come to him for help with relationship problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, or family of origin concerns. He also supports people facing depression, life transitions, feelings of isolation, and panic or social anxiety.
Sessions typically focus on small, achievable steps that fit daily life and responsibilities.

He combines that with solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and track progress.

If someone is ready to make changes, he aims to offer steady support while adapting the plan to their needs.
Online approaches that focus on thinking, relationships, and calm
Michael combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that are easy to use online. CBT involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and practicing alternative responses. It helps with panic attacks, social anxiety, and stress by giving concrete tools to test worries and build new habits. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple breathing, body awareness, and brief meditation into sessions to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment focus. These practices support emotion regulation and daily stress management.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions may blend skill-building, reflective work, and mindfulness exercises so the plan matches what matters to the client and what they can realistically do between appointments.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and guided exercises, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching, and supporting new skills outside session hours. These options make it easier to keep consistent momentum and to try approaches that suit a person's schedule and comfort.
