Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of his work when practical steps and skills will help reduce symptoms. Michael has worked across community mental health, school-based settings, and individual and group formats. That variety shaped his practice and his comfort with different kinds of life challenges.
He pays attention to cultural and cross-cultural influences on a person’s choices and feelings. In sessions he focuses on clear goals set together, and on techniques that match a person’s pace. He helps people break down problems into manageable steps and test new ways of responding.
When trauma is part of the picture, he integrates approaches that address past distress while keeping current functioning in mind. People often come to him for help with family problems, parenting and fatherhood issues, intimacy and sexuality concerns, anger and impulsivity, ADHD, body image, and questions about identity and life purpose. He aims to support growth, self-compassion, and practical change.
If someone wants to explore their story, build coping skills, or work toward clearer goals, Michael offers straightforward guidance and steady support to move forward.

Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Narrative Therapy helps people name and reframe the stories that shape their reactions. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to identify patterns and try new meanings for past events and current roles.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, accepting stance. The therapist follows the person's lead, listens closely, and helps people feel understood while they sort through their choices and goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical tools and small experiments. It breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust over time based on what works.
Online work offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in or help when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or continue momentum between longer sessions.
