How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Michael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online work. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; they help with anxiety, depression, and low mood by teaching practical coping skills and problem-solving steps. Trauma-informed strategies attend to the effects of past hurt and provide structured ways to process distress while building safety and emotional regulation skills.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews problems, goals, and preferences together with the client and adjusts methods as work proceeds. This means the plan can shift from short-term symptom relief to longer process work when needed.
