Approaches that inform online therapy and support
Michael Reina draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with EMDR to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience from their perspective, offering empathetic listening and support to help people feel heard and to clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, providing practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional hold.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michael collaborates with individuals to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He works with clients to adapt techniques so they fit each person's pace and situation.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, accommodate busy schedules, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while maintaining the focus on effective therapeutic work.
