Background and approach
He often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also uses existential perspectives to help people wrestle with life purpose and meaning. Many clients seek help for stress, grief, self-esteem, and intimacy-related concerns.
He has experience with issues around sexuality, BDSM and kink, and the cultures that surround them. Substance use, communication problems, and fatherhood concerns are also within his areas of focus.

The practice serves people in California and does not take international clients. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Moyer commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and existential therapy in his work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Existential therapy helps people examine meaning, purpose, and life choices when those questions are central to their distress. He views choosing an approach as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then adapt techniques to fit those aims. That means methods can shift over time as needs change. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls approximate an in-person conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people write between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can happen around work, school, or caregiving commitments.Questions people ask
