Background and approach
He spent 11 years teaching counseling at graduate level before focusing on independent practice. In sessions he builds a warm, interactive environment where people can feel heard. He looks for ways to help clients experience emotional healing by revisiting painful moments while offering a different, more supportive response.
This method helps many people form new emotional patterns over time. He treats a wide range of concerns related to attachment and family history, including abandonment, family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, and communication problems. He also supports people dealing with infidelity, divorce and separation, isolation and life purpose questions.
His long experience includes work with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and workplace-related stress. He accepts international clients and provides sessions in English using several online formats. He encourages prospective clients to begin by selecting Start Therapy and completing a short matching questionnaire.
Approaches for Anxiety and Healing Online
Dr. Childers uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotional change and skill building. One approach helps people revisit painful events while receiving a different, more supportive response in the present; this can reduce the hold of past trauma and open the way for new emotional patterns. Another approach centers on identifying and strengthening personal resources - skills, coping methods, and existing supports - so clients can tackle stress and anxiety more effectively.Deciding which approach fits best happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, current challenges, and what feels manageable. That collaborative process guides whether sessions focus more on processing past hurts or on building day-to-day coping skills.
Online therapy makes these approaches more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or moments when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into workdays, travel, or different schedules while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
