How Michael integrates therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Michael blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas to structure online work. Client-centered therapy means the focus is on the person's experience, with the therapist reflecting concerns and priorities to clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at specific thoughts and behaviors, offering practical exercises to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or unhealthy habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) examines how attachment and emotional responses play out in relationships, helping people identify and shift repetitive interaction cycles.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michael will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods based on how a person responds. The therapist approaches this as a collaborative process that pairs practical steps with attention to deeper relationship patterns.
