Approaches that guide online sessions and what they do
Michael often uses Narrative therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how those stories shape feelings and choices and helps people rewrite parts that cause pain.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to notice how early relationship patterns affect current closeness, trust, and communication. That work can help people change how they relate in important relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Michael works collaboratively to match techniques to the person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they test what helps and adjust the plan as things change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets a person and therapist see each other's expressions.

These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy days.
