Background and approach
He is completing a doctorate in counselor education and supervision while continuing pastoral work. His approach centers on meaning and choice. He uses existential and client-centered ideas to help people clarify values and notice strengths.
Narrative work is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to reshape those narratives when they no longer fit. He is comfortable integrating parts work from Internal Family Systems to help people understand inner conflicts and impulsive reactions.
He can also draw on more structured techniques when a specific problem calls for it, such as short-term skill work for coping and communication. Sessions emphasize collaboration rather than advice. He describes his role as a companion who points out what may be relevant while clients explore their own path.
The focus is on clear, usable steps that fit each person's life and goals.
Approaches in online counseling and how they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and choices. Existential therapy looks at meaning, responsibility, and life direction, and can help when people feel stuck or question purpose. Narrative therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and rewrite those stories to support healthier behavior and identity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the approach together rather than imposing a single method from the start.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and use deeper conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets clients write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules and to choose the format that best supports progress.
