2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

   Micah uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find motivation for change; sessions focus on exploring values and gently supporting steps toward goals. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy and family concerns.
   
   He pairs those approaches with Client-Centered Therapy, offering a listening, nonjudgmental stance that keeps the person's priorities central. Together these methods aim to create a collaborative plan rather than a fixed path, so the therapist and client decide what fits best for each issue and goal.
   
   If you are considering online work, confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel. It can also let people work on relationship patterns or coping skills from wherever they are, while the therapist helps adapt exercises and goals to daily life.
