Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Michael Greenberg

Dr. Michael Greenberg integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - into his online practice. ACT focuses on helping people clarify personal values and take meaningful action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings; it is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and issues involving motivation and life transitions. CBT concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress and to improve coping skills. He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - when needed, teaching practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties and intense emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Greenberg works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, preferences, and needs. He tailors interventions and adjusts pace based on what is most helpful in individual sessions.
