About Michael
As a 72 year old Christian man, he can integrate a Christian perspective into counseling when clients prefer that orientation. His life experience includes marriage and divorce, parenting within a blended and inter-racial family, relationships with non-binary family members, vocational challenges, addiction recovery, and living with ADHD, all of which inform a practical and empathetic style of care.
Michael emphasizes collaboration in treatment - the client’s experience, history, and current concerns guide the goals, pace, and methods used. He may use brief, solution-focused strategies or work at greater depth when complexity calls for it, and he makes sure that clients understand the purpose, process, and intended outcomes of each element of care. He approaches each client partnership with respect for their thoughts, feelings, and expressions, and he thanks readers for considering his services.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Michael uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting the client’s own capacity for growth - it is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and exploring identity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michael treats it as a collaborative effort. He will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques and pace as needs evolve so the plan reflects the client’s priorities.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy or geographically dispersed people. Video calls and phone sessions recreate face-to-face conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for shorter check-ins or when real-time scheduling is difficult. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances.
