Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well Online
Michael Williams draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work effectively in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and actions, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new skills for challenges like stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can clarify what matters most to them and move at a comfortable pace. This approach can be especially helpful for self-esteem concerns, grief, and periods of uncertainty when a person wants to reconnect with personal strengths and values.
Mindfulness Therapy supports greater awareness of the present moment, which can help clients respond more intentionally to intense emotions, cravings, or overwhelm rather than feeling pulled into autopilot.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael collaborates with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the process to fit the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone, with additional options like live chat and text-based messaging to support consistent connection between appointments.
