Background and approach
Over the past 15 years he has worked in counseling roles in Texas and developed ways to combine different tools. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the persons pace and priorities central. Sessions are tailored to each persons needs and preferences, with an emphasis on realistic goals. Michael encourages practical homework between sessions so progress continues outside appointments.
He aims to make each meeting feel focused and useful. If someone is ready to try talk-based support, he guides them through the first steps and a simple plan for moving forward.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small, values-based steps forward despite hard thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to ease depression and anxiety symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and goals for their work.Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which approaches to try first. Together they can adjust methods and homework as progress is reviewed over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls work well for longer therapy conversations and deeper exercises. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels easier. These options make it straightforward to fit therapy into a busy life while trying different approaches to find what helps most.
