Damon keeps sessions practical and collaborative. He works with clients to set clear goals and then uses a mix of approaches to reach them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on identifying patterns, building skills, and addressing painful memories when needed. He emphasizes an honest, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Over 21 years of experience has allowed Damon to work with many presenting concerns including grief, intimacy issues, eating difficulties, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
He also supports people navigating adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome related challenges, chronic illness or pain, and caregiver stress. Damon uses several therapeutic methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Gottman Method, and mindfulness-based techniques.
He believes the relationship between client and therapist is central, and he adjusts methods to match each person's needs. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Damon asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to begin the matching process and to schedule sessions that fit their lives.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems active. It is often used for anxiety, stress, depression, and many day-to-day struggles by teaching practical skills and homework tasks.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when strong emotions, relationship conflicts, or self-destructive patterns make life harder.
EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge. It can be helpful for people who carry painful events that continue to affect daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust methods over time to find what fits best for the person's needs.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues similar to in-person visits. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life and varying routines.
