Background and approach
He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and a client-centered stance to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different actions.

This gives multiple ways to reduce symptoms and rebuild a sense of control. His approach is straightforward. He offers a steady presence, nonjudgmental listening, and gentle challenges to try the hard work that leads to change.
He pays attention to family of origin, codependency, fatherhood concerns, and commitment worries when they affect the problems people bring. Sessions are practical and aimed at making life more manageable. Horace aims to help clients build skills for stress, social anxiety, self-esteem, and intimacy concerns.
He believes steady effort and clear goals lead to meaningful progress.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behavior. Online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to help people notice these patterns and practice new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve closeness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioral experiments between meetings, and reviewing results together to build better coping skills for anxiety and stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for trauma-focused work to reduce the intensity of distressing memories. When appropriate, parts of EMDR can be adapted to video sessions to guide processing while the therapist watches and supports the client's pacing.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a person’s goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjust plans as work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lighter and easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging make it simple to check in between sessions or fit brief notes into a busy day. These options help people make therapy fit their schedule and daily life.
