04Online support
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and priorities. In sessions the therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps clients decide their own goals. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying what change would look like.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Sessions use practical exercises and simple experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in and adjusts techniques as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework review, or support between longer sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working to see what helps most.
