Remote sessions and how therapy is approached
Michael uses a combination of client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness-based practices when working remotely. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the individual’s perspective and building a collaborative relationship. Cognitive behavioral methods are used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to develop practical strategies for change. Mindfulness practices help people develop present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills.
These approaches can be combined to suit different preferences: some people pursue structured, skill-oriented work with cognitive techniques, while others emphasize reflective exploration and existential questioning supported by mindfulness. Michael frames the online process as collaborative, adapting tools and conversation to what a person brings to sessions.
Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those interested in online work can discuss which communication format best matches their needs and logistical situation during an initial intake.
