How Michael Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then test new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that affect relationships.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps and on spotting what already works. Sessions focus on setting clear goals and building on strengths to create change in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michael collaborates with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
