Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when helpful to set clear goals and make concrete changes. His background includes work across addiction services and child and family settings, giving him experience with grief, parenting challenges, family problems, and substance-related concerns. That work also brought exposure to communication problems, codependency, and issues around commitment and control.

He brings that practical experience into online sessions. In a session he listens first, then helps people name patterns and try small experiments to see what works. Therapy can address career stress, compassion fatigue, body image worries, and problems tied to attention differences or impulsivity.

Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s needs and life circumstances. People who want focused help with change can expect structured conversations, skill practice, and shared problem solving. He encourages people to take small steps and track progress over time.

Using evidence-based approaches in online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how closeness and distance affect their reactions and teaches ways to form steadier connections with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks closely at thoughts, feelings, and actions to find practical changes. CBT helps people reduce anxious thinking, improve sleep, and learn new coping habits through small experiments and practice.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then recommend a combination of methods and adjust them over time. This collaborative process means the plan can shift if a different approach fits better or new priorities emerge.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you use visual cues and full conversation for skills work and relational topics. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, homework check-ins, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to practice new skills in real situations.
