Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Skill-Building
Michael Davis draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to shape online work that balances insight and practical skills. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting each person’s own goals, helping people feel understood as they explore difficult topics. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical strategies to change behaviors and manage symptoms such as anxiety and depression. DBT offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, improving distress tolerance and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for anger, trauma responses and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Michael works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best given their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review options, try methods, and adjust the plan so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with technology. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life with greater convenience.
