How Micah’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s concerns. In practice this means sessions center on what the person brings each time and on building trust through open conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviors with clear exercises and homework. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood-related problems. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh pros and cons and find personal reasons to change, which is often used when addressing substance use or quitting smoking or vaping.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Micah discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on goals, preferences, and what works in early sessions. She helps set small goals and checks in on progress to decide whether to continue, combine, or shift techniques.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help someone match therapy to their day-to-day life.
