Background and approach
Clifford has also served in supervisory roles and runs a counseling practice in Georgia. His long career means he has seen many different life situations and struggles. In sessions Clifford usually draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small experiments to change them.
He also uses motivating conversations to build momentum for change and solution-focused methods to set clear, achievable goals. These approaches are mixed to fit each person's needs. People bring many concerns to Clifford, including anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, anger, parenting strain, relationship problems, and issues around identity and life purpose.
He also addresses trauma, post-traumatic stress, and multicultural concerns with attention to each person's history. Clifford aims for practical tools that can be used between sessions. He helps people break big problems into smaller steps and build routines that support recovery and day-to-day coping.
The work is collaborative and paced to what the person feels ready to try.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. It’s useful when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of anxiety or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxious thinking and improve daily routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance. It can help with anger, relationship strain, and mood swings by teaching breathing, grounding, and communication strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then the plan is adjusted as progress is made so sessions stay focused on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Video lets people practice skills together and work visually. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, short coaching, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work, school, or family life while keeping the focus on steady, usable progress.
