Background and approach
He also draws on EMDR for trauma-related memories when appropriate. His background includes clinical work in clinics, schools, prisons, inpatient settings, and outpatient treatment programs. That range means he is used to different kinds of schedules and life situations.
He brings practical skills from those environments into conversations with people. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that people can try between meetings. Dr.
Oppong mixes listening with direct skills practice such as coping strategies and mindfulness exercises. He also uses motivational interviewing to support change when substance use or readiness is part of the concern. People can expect straightforward talk about what’s causing stress and small, achievable steps forward.
He helps break down big problems into manageable parts and tracks progress over time. The tone in sessions is respectful and goal oriented.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful space where the person sets the pace and topics. In practice this means sessions begin with listening and reflecting to understand what matters most and to build a trusting working relationship.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Online CBT typically includes teaching clear techniques, setting small homework tasks, and reviewing results together to reduce anxiety and manage stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. In an online setting the therapist guides structured protocols and uses pacing and grounding skills to keep each step manageable.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients participate in choosing techniques that fit their needs and daily life.
Online sessions offer practical benefits like flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let therapists use visual cues and worksheets, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching, and switching among formats makes it easier to keep momentum when life is busy.
