How his approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them and move toward what matters in life. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and living through big changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on practical steps and small changes that lead to quick improvements for specific problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to blend methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they pick tools to try, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy makes this flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that mimic in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, homework support, and quick problem solving between longer sessions. These formats let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while still working with a licensed professional.
