Background and approach

He also supports people facing aging, geriatric concerns, hospice, and end-of-life questions. In sessions he uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills.

When trauma is central, he may use EMDR to help process painful memories. Therapy focuses on practical tools and clear conversation. That can mean skill-building exercises, honest feedback, or structured homework between meetings.

When faith matters to a client, he can include spiritually-attuned practices such as prayer if the client requests it. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in Texas and internationally. Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to a suitable session time.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client feels is most important, which helps when you want practical, client-led work on anxiety or life stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that fuel anxiety and building concrete skills to change them. It often includes exercises to practice between sessions, which can be shared and reviewed easily in video or messaging formats.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge. Online EMDR involves guided procedures the therapist walks you through while you are on a video call.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable, then recommend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and between-session support easier. These options make it simpler to fit consistent sessions into a weekday, lunch break, or travel schedule.
