Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He listens for what feels most urgent and then helps people try practical steps to feel better and cope day to day.
Background and approach
Dr. Balich uses approaches that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He also draws on client-centered ideas to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s values and priorities.
Solution-focused techniques come into play when quick, concrete changes are the goal. His background includes a master’s degree in counseling and a doctoral degree in Counselor Education and Supervision from the University of Wyoming. He holds an LPC credential in Colorado and has worked with a broad range of concerns over the past decade plus.
Sessions are offered in English and can cover communication problems, workplace stress, mood concerns, trauma, and substance use questions. The aim in every session is to find small, usable steps that fit the person’s life and move them toward clearer decisions.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s priorities. In an online session this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what is said, and helps people decide what feels most important to work on. This approach is useful for shaping goals around personal values and day-to-day concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. Online sessions can include homework, thought records, and step-by-step experiments that people try between meetings to test what helps with anxiety, mood, or stress.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for immediate, practical steps and existing strengths. It helps people name tiny changes that make a difference and build on them week to week, which often fits well with short check-ins or brief goal-focused sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He will adjust the plan as progress or new issues arise so the process stays useful and relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or distance barriers. Video calls make it easier to have a fuller conversation and see nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can require less bandwidth and suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when a shorter contact fits into a work break or a crowded day.
