How Michael’s approaches shape online sessions
Michael often uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This work involves identifying patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing new responses. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and stress.He also draws on motivational interviewing to build readiness for change when motivation feels low. That approach uses focused conversation to clarify values and strengthen commitment to specific steps. Combined with solution-focused ideas, sessions often emphasize short-term goals and practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques make sense for their goals and situation. Methods may be adjusted over time based on what is effective and what the person prefers.
