Across inpatient and outpatient addiction and mental health settings, juvenile justice, military and veteran mental health services, public schools, and colleges, he has helped clients develop practical skills to manage symptoms and pursue meaningful change. His work blends client-centered care with positive psychology, EFT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques, tailoring the approach to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Evidence-Based Techniques Delivered Online

Michael Geisert uses several evidence-based approaches that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take action toward meaningful goals - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness-based practices teach present-moment awareness and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation during stress, trauma recovery, and cravings. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients discover their own solutions, making it useful across a broad range of concerns including relationships, self-esteem, and grief.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for their situation. He emphasizes partnership and shared decision-making throughout treatment.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access therapeutic support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, skill-focused care while accommodating each client’s lifestyle and access needs.
