How Mike's Methods Translate to Online Care

Mike uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and try practical changes in behavior; CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and compulsive habits. Existential Therapy is about examining meaning, values, and choice during life transitions or grief, helping people find direction when things feel uncertain. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, concrete goals and building on what already works for a person.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to bring questions and feedback so sessions stay practical and focused on real-life change.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, live chat is good for quick exchanges, and ongoing texting helps track small steps between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping momentum between appointments.
