Integrative Approaches for Online Therapy

Michael Carrington draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective, offering empathic listening and support to help people clarify their feelings and goals. This approach is often helpful for relationship concerns, identity questions, and emotional exploration.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact, and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. CBT can include goal-setting and skill-building to support change in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michael and the client work together to identify which methods fit best with the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of approaches as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access support from home, work, or other locations and allow registered professionals to tailor sessions to the communication style that suits each person best.
