How Michael uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult emotions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, career decisions, and settling on priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. It often includes short between-session practice. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding emotional responses in close relationships and improving how people communicate and connect.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Michael will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans as needed. Clients collaborate on which tools feel most helpful and which exercises to use between sessions.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow practice of skills in everyday settings. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to help people balance work, family, and treatment without extra travel, while still focusing on clear goals and measurable progress.
