Evidence-based methods and working online
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address the issues people bring. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in relationships and practicing new communication skills in session and between meetings. This helps with communication problems, conflict, and repairing trust.Another frequently used approach targets coping with loss and grief by breaking tasks into manageable steps, processing emotions at a steady pace, and rebuilding daily routines. This is useful for those navigating bereavement or major life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each client to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. He checks in about what is or is not helping and adapts the plan over time.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available session formats before booking to know whether video or phone options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage.
