About Michael
Michael focuses on the present and on what can be done now. He uses ideas from several approaches to match the work to a person's situation. When useful, he will look at past events to understand patterns that affect current behavior. Sessions typically involve setting realistic goals and learning skills to manage problems today and prepare for future challenges.
He has experience with blended family issues, fertility and adoption questions, intimacy challenges, and compassion fatigue for caregivers. He also supports people facing loneliness, career stress, addiction concerns, and mood disorders. Hospice and end-of-life counseling appear among his focus areas and are part of his broader practice.
Michael emphasizes collaboration. He talks with each person about what matters most and builds a plan together. That plan can include short-term solutions and longer-term strategies to strengthen coping skills and self-understanding.
People who prefer straightforward talk and practical steps may find his style fits well. He encourages anyone thinking about help to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting to see if it feels right.

How his approaches shape online therapy
Existential Therapy in his work encourages people to name what matters most and face life choices with clearer values. This approach can help when someone is wrestling with meaning, life transitions, or grief. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and developing calm habits that reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize existential questions, mindfulness practice, or brief solution-focused steps as the work progresses.
Please confirm available session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here.
