How Michael’s Approaches Fit Online Work
Michael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce worry or low mood. CBT is practical and focuses on clear steps that can be practiced between sessions.
Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and consider different, more empowering perspectives. It can be useful for rebuilding self esteem and making sense of past events.
Solution-Focused Therapy targets immediate, achievable goals and helps people build momentum through small changes. This approach works well when someone wants quick, focused progress on a specific issue.
Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to shape sessions around their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which approach or combination to try and adjust it over time.
