Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and everyday tools that can be used between meetings. In the therapy room he creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space for honest conversation. He encourages people to name what matters and to try small experiments that can shift habits and thinking.
He uses a blend of talking, guided exercises, and simple practices you can use at home. Mike often focuses on issues like burnout and compassion fatigue, workplace stress, money and financial worries, and struggles with guilt or shame. He also helps people navigate divorce and separation, communication problems, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Clients who prefer a coach-style partnership will find his background useful for setting goals and tracking progress. He acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to make the process clear and manageable from the first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people identify what matters to them and take concrete steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with worry, low mood, and self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm; it pairs well with ACT and CBT for stress and compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit those aims. Sessions are collaborative, with room to adjust techniques if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people have a fuller conversation and use exercises in the moment. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio only. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, homework, and quick support between meetings, making it simpler to maintain progress on a busy schedule.
