Solution-Focused work guides short-term planning and concrete steps. Michael supports people in trying new behaviors between sessions and then reviews what helped. He pays attention to control issues, impulsivity, and problems with guilt or forgiveness as they come up.
Alongside core concerns, he addresses attachment issues, communication problems, men’s issues, and veteran and armed forces matters. He also works with financial stress, midlife concerns, seasonal mood shifts, and self-love questions. The therapy emphasizes measurable changes and regular check-ins.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Michael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this often looks like setting simple experiments and tracking results between sessions. Narrative Therapy is used to separate people from the problems they describe by reworking the stories that shape their reactions, which can reduce shame and increase options. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and clear goals to produce noticeable changes in day-to-day life.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Michael will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. He checks progress regularly and adjusts techniques when something is not working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use methods like homework experiments and between-session tracking in ways that match their daily routines.
