Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Michael often draws on the Gottman Method to look at how partners communicate and to teach small, concrete skills for reducing conflict and rebuilding connection. The Gottman approach focuses on practical exercises that couples can use between sessions to improve how they relate to each other.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which puts the person’s own goals and experience at the center of sessions. That approach emphasizes listening, validation, and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective skills for mood and anxiety concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each client to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made and needs change.
Online therapy offers options that fit different schedules and situations. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they want that interaction. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief exchanges between or instead of sessions and can help keep momentum during busy weeks.
