How Michael Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and teaches practical ways to act on those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build self-understanding and confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and gives straightforward techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or caregiving stress. Michael blends these approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then recommend a path forward. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people participate from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same skills-based work and emotional support people get in person.
