Approaches for Effective Online Counseling

Michael Curry integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method into online sessions to meet a variety of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring personal values and goals; it is often helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions.

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. The Gottman Method provides structured techniques for couples to strengthen communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild intimacy, making it especially useful for relationship and marital concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds and consulting with other licensed professionals or therapists when beneficial.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, access for those in remote areas, and continued support between meetings. These options make it easier to receive consistent care while balancing daily responsibilities and changing circumstances.
