Practical Approaches, Delivered Online
Michael Miano draws from several evidence-informed approaches to help clients move from feeling stuck to taking workable next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. It can be especially helpful for noticing unhelpful patterns and practicing new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, anger, and mood-related challenges.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people strengthen their own reasons for change. It can be a good fit when motivation feels uneven, when confidence is low, or when a person is weighing difficult decisions and wants a clearer path forward. Client-Centered Therapy adds a steady foundation of respect and empathy, helping clients feel understood while they explore goals at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michael works directly and supportively with clients to shape sessions around what matters most to them, adjusting the focus based on needs, goals, and personal preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility without losing structure. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone, with live chat or text-based messaging available for added convenience, making it easier to stay engaged when life is busy or schedules change.
