How his approaches fit with online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques in Michael's practice focus on skills people can use day to day. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps to reduce anxiety and manage urges. These are short exercises you can practice between sessions to handle stress or cravings.Another approach centers on improving communication and problem solving. That involves role-play, clarifying what each person wants, and rehearsing new ways to speak up. It is useful for relationship concerns and workplace friction.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust based on what helps. You and the therapist decide together which techniques to continue.
