Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then act toward what matters. It often suits those facing anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy - EFT - maps out emotional patterns in relationships and teaches ways to connect more safely and openly, which can help with intimacy issues and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michael will discuss goals and try methods that match a person's needs and preferences. He treats the process as a collaboration where adjustments are expected if something is not helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill practice and emotional check-ins. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible ways to check in between sessions or to work through brief updates and exercises. These options make scheduling simpler and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
