Approach-driven online therapy that meets you where you are
Michael Fentress integrates well-established therapy approaches to support clients navigating concerns like depression, addiction, life transitions, and relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice practical skills to respond differently to stress, anxiety, or low mood in everyday life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility by making room for difficult emotions while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be especially useful when clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from purpose, and want to move forward in a values-based way.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how earlier relationship experiences can shape trust, closeness, and self-worth. This lens can be helpful for people working through relationship difficulties, isolation, or lingering impact from past experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michael works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then adjusts the pace and methods to fit the client’s needs.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, with live chat or text-based messaging available for added accessibility and support between scheduled conversations.
