Therapeutic approaches for online support
Mike uses evidence-based techniques focused on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This method aims to reduce overwhelming feelings by changing small daily habits and thought routines.Another approach centres on understanding attachment and relationship patterns. It supports people to spot repeated dynamics in relationships and to try new responses that feel safer and more effective. This work is useful for issues like loneliness, relationship tension and workplace difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will discuss what is most important to the client, try methods that match their goals, and adjust things as therapy progresses. This collaborative process helps find a way of working that feels comfortable and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written conversation or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
