Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help

Michael Bohman draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a collaborative relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while the client explores personal goals and values; this approach can be helpful for life transitions, relationship and self-esteem concerns, and coping with stress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and many forms of stress-related difficulty. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and self-compassion through simple attention practices, which can reduce reactivity and support regulation when facing trauma, grief, or ongoing stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michael works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy with Michael is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, and varying comfort levels with communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care while managing everyday responsibilities.
