How Michael’s Approaches Work Online
Michael often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT helps people break cycles of worry, low mood, and anger by changing how they think and act. Solution-Focused Therapy is another approach he uses; it emphasizes small, practical steps and finding what already works to build on strengths.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with clients about their goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what is working. Together they set clear targets and track progress over time so the plan stays focused and practical.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes scheduling easier for many people. Video lets for face-to-face work when a longer session is needed, phone calls can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or other demands.
