How his approaches fit into online work

Michael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then replace them with more useful patterns; this approach is often helpful for anxiety, panic, and low mood. He also uses Mindfulness Therapy, drawing on meditation and breathing practices from his yoga background to help people notice stress and calm the body and mind.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions focus on skills practice, parts work, relationship tools, or short-term problem solving.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commuting time, and allow quick check-ins when a brief touchpoint will help. Some approaches translate well to shorter, skills-focused meetings while others benefit from regular weekly work; Michael aims to match the rhythm of sessions to what will fit the client’s life and goals.
