Background and approach
Sessions often focus on concrete actions people can try between meetings. He aims to keep sessions active and collaborative rather than only talking about problems. His background includes many years working with adults and older adults on bereavement, divorce adjustment, blended family issues, and mood concerns.
That experience informs a calm, steady approach with people who are coping with loss, major life shifts, or ongoing stressors. Outside of practice he enjoys film, music, and sports. He works with each person to set clear goals, track progress, and find practical ways to improve day-to-day functioning.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their timing and needs.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and working from the client’s goals. It emphasizes understanding a person’s experience and helping them decide what matters most to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific skills people can use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust techniques as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video works well for in-depth conversations and working through exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a simple check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, flexible exchanges that can support between-session problem solving and accountability. These formats aim to increase accessibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
