How client-centered methods and skills work online
Michael often uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to the individual. This approach helps shape goals and keeps the pace comfortable for each person.He also frequently applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical ways to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication in high-stress moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michael will match methods to the client’s goals and preferences, and they will check in regularly to see what’s helping. The process is collaborative and goal-focused, not one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexible options to fit busy lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when a longer session or visual cues help. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people communicate between sessions or when shorter, more frequent contact is useful. These formats make it easier to keep momentum and use skills in real time.
