Background and approach
His approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy help with patterns of thoughts, emotional regulation, and taking meaningful action. Attachment-based and client-centered work look at relationship themes and the way early connections shape current problems.
Over eight years he has guided people through addiction and compulsive behaviors, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to family of origin. He also supports those dealing with bipolar symptoms, eating or body image concerns, and co-occurring problems. Sessions are offered in English and delivered from Texas.
Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
How specific approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and still move toward what matters. It teaches values-based action and simple exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear techniques to challenge patterns that feed anxiety or depression and to build coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current connections and trust; it can help people understand patterns in intimacy and communication.Figuring out the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust methods over time so the work fits the person’s life and changes as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make appointments easier to fit into day-to-day life. Video is useful for full-session work; phone calls can be a good option when video isn’t practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, skill practice, or shorter updates between longer sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people access care from wherever they are in Texas.
