Evidence-Informed Approaches, Built for Online Support
Michael Nichols, LCMHC, draws from practical, goal-oriented methods that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and the behaviors that follow them, then practicing more balanced ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and social anxiety, as well as building coping skills for everyday pressures.Solution-Focused Therapy takes a forward-looking approach, helping clients clarify what they want to be different and identify strengths, resources, and small steps that can move things in the right direction. This can be especially helpful when navigating relationship strain, anger management goals, or major life changes where a clear plan and momentum matter.
There is no single best approach for everyone. Part of the work is collaborative - Michael Nichols helps clients explore what feels most useful, then adjusts strategies based on goals, preferences, and what is working over time.
Online therapy also offers flexibility: sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and get support in a format that feels comfortable.
