He has worked with individuals and couples on relationship disappointment, fear, intense stress, and marital strain. He describes his role as part therapist, part life coach, helping clients set goals and take practical steps toward them. He pays attention to how past experiences affect current choices.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set their own goals, with the therapist offering reflection and support; online sessions can keep this conversational, goal-driven tone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses homework and practical exercises to build new habits, which can be assigned and reviewed between remote meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift emotional responses in relationships, and online meetings can be used to talk through patterns and practice new responses together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. He adapts over time based on what is helping and what is not, so the plan can change as progress is made.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing for daytime or evening meetings. It also lets people review notes, try short check-ins, and practice exercises between sessions to keep momentum toward their goals.
