Michael uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy. Sessions center on identifying the patterns that get in the way and breaking them down into manageable steps. He emphasizes values-based action so clients can make clearer choices in daily life.
In session he listens and reflects, then helps design small, doable experiments to test new ways of responding. This might include shifting thoughts and behaviors, practicing new communication habits, or clarifying what matters most and taking steps toward it. Progress is measured in real-world changes rather than abstract reports.

Therapeutic approaches and what they look like online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions often combine brief exercises, values clarification, and actionable homework to change how a person responds to difficult thoughts and feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In remote CBT work, this usually means tracking thoughts and behaviors between sessions, trying small experiments, and reviewing results together to refine next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit current goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean leaning more on ACT, on CBT, or on existential questions about meaning and choice as the work progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter, more frequent check-ins when needed. They also permit work from different locations, which can help clients practice real-world changes between meetings. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and homework to suit how a client prefers to work remotely.
