Online session options
Approach-focused care for online sessions
Micah often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Narrative work looks at how problems become central to a person's story and helps separate the person from the problem so that new possibilities can emerge.He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches. Attachment-focused work explores how early and current relationship patterns shape safety and closeness, which can help with trust and intimacy issues. Client-centered therapy prioritizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance so clients feel heard and can set the pace and goals for their work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Micah collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He may combine narrative listening, attachment reflections, and practical cognitive or emotion-focused tools as the work evolves.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video helps preserve face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
