Michael Geisert , LCSW

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Michael commonly employs client-centered work, ACT and mindfulness-based techniques in his practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and collaborative goal setting so clients feel heard and understood while shaping a plan that fits their needs. ACT, or ACT-based strategies, help people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify personal values, and take committed actions that align with those values - a practical way to address anxiety, depression and life transitions. Mindfulness practices teach present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for stress, trauma responses and addictive urges.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work itself. Michael treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process, adjusting techniques based on a client’s goals, preferences and responses so treatment evolves with the client’s needs.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to attend sessions around work, family and other commitments. These formats provide flexibility and accessibility, allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care and practical tools even when in-person meetings are not possible.
