How Michael works
Michael uses straightforward conversations to identify what matters most to each person. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, client-centered methods, and the Gottman Method when relationship skills are relevant. He tailors those approaches to the needs someone brings to sessions.
Sessions are directed but respectful. He works to get to the heart of problems without wasting time. People can expect practical strategies, attention to thinking patterns, and exercises that target behavior changes between sessions.
Over 30 years of practice have shaped a calm, down-to-earth style. Michael values sensitivity and compassion while keeping work focused on measurable progress. He encourages people to take a first step and says that making contact is a meaningful start to change.

Therapeutic approaches for online change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression or anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, empathetic conversation where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace to build trust and clarify goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then suggests methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.
