How Michael Uses Practical Therapies Online
Michael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in plain, applied ways. CBT looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and helps people try new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, realistic changes and building on strengths to reach short-term goals and move past sticking points.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Michael works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means testing what helps, adjusting plans, and keeping sessions focused on useful next steps rather than lengthy theory.
