Prof. Michael Davis, LPC

Approaches, Collaboration, and Online Care

Prof. Michael Davis integrates several well-established approaches into online work to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting a person’s own capacity for growth - it often helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, compulsive patterns, and many stress-related problems. Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility, which can be useful for clients facing major life transitions, identity concerns, or deeper questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Prof. Davis works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He tailors techniques rather than applying a single model to every situation.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this collaborative work. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to connect from home or other convenient locations, accommodate busy schedules or caregiving responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. These options make it easier to access consistent support while working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
