04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Mike uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or depression, often through simple exercises and homework. Existential Therapy helps people talk about meaning, purpose, and the hard questions that arise with grief or life transitions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps so clients can see progress quickly and build momentum.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mike works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what feels most helpful. The aim is to find practical ways forward rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text allows quick check-ins and brief focused work between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
