About Michael
He favors a conversational, client-centered style that keeps the person's goals in view. Sessions often include clear behavioral strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness practices are used to help people slow down, notice what is happening, and build better coping skills.
Michael also draws on existential ideas to help people find personal meaning when life feels confusing or painful. For couples or relationship concerns he uses elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and manage conflict. He blends these approaches to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single technique.
His background includes work in mental health rehabilitation centers and a mental health hospital, along with counseling within a church setting. That mix of settings gave him experience with many kinds of struggles and cultural perspectives. He aims to help people move from crisis toward steady routines and renewed hope.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with time spent on skills you can use between meetings. People who come to him for help with grief, trauma, parenting stress, ADHD, or career pressure will find an emphasis on usable tools and steady progress.

How Michael’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room, listening closely and following their goals; online sessions using this approach emphasize what matters to the client and adapt pace and focus to each meeting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to change patterns that cause distress; this works well for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short, practical attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, helping with sleep, grief, and living with ongoing health challenges.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.
