Background and approach
Together they set practical goals and try methods that fit the client’s life and values. He commonly brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to surface and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. When emotions run high or crises repeat, he draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach regulation and distress tolerance.
Trauma-focused work helps people process painful memories into more workable parts of life. Christian also uses motivational interviewing to build motivation for change when substance use or ambivalence gets in the way. Sessions prioritize small, achievable steps so progress can be noticeable between meetings.
People working with him can expect a calm, nonjudgmental tone and a focus on concrete tools. He helps people sort priorities, manage symptoms, and plan healthy next steps. Communication is in English and sessions are offered online and by phone to make participation easier for busy lives.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs in the moment. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want from therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses clear exercises to change patterns that keep anxiety and depression going. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when a fuller conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules, while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
