How his approaches translate to online work
Michael lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as his clinical foundation. In practice that means working with practical, research-backed methods to reduce anxiety and manage stress. For example, techniques that focus on building coping skills teach specific breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps to reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning.He also addresses trauma-related problems by helping people name reactions and learn regulation strategies. Trauma-focused methods often include pacing exposure to difficult memories and training in ways to lower strong physical responses. These approaches can help people regain a sense of control over upsetting symptoms without forcing rapid reliving of trauma.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss different methods and adapt them to a person’s goals and comfort. Clients and the therapist choose which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress or obstacles appear.
