Approach and Online Care

Mike uses Existential therapy to help people talk about meaning, choice, and how they want to live. That approach is useful when someone is questioning purpose, facing big life transitions, or feeling stuck in repeating patterns.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps when anxiety, depression, or unhelpful thinking get in the way of daily life. Solution‑Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and to notice early signs of progress that people can build on.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean trying one approach, blending methods, or shifting strategies as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is good for full conversations, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs, and chat or text works well for quick check-ins or shorter, focused exchanges. These options help people keep momentum and maintain contact when scheduling or travel is difficult.
