Background and approach
Before becoming a therapist he worked in education and supported adults with developmental disabilities for many years. He has worked for the State of Oklahoma in adult protection services, developmental disabilities, and child welfare. That background informs how he listens and responds to practical safety and caregiving problems.
In sessions he uses straightforward methods like cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior ideas, EMDR for trauma processing, and mindfulness practices. He adapts tools to the person rather than forcing a single method. He also notes that play-based techniques can be useful even with adults.
He does not provide Christian-based therapy or spiritual guidance that uses Bible teachings or prayer. If someone prefers therapy without a religious framework, he provides that option. The first meetings focus on listening, setting goals, and building a plan together.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It emphasizes meeting people where they are, reflecting concerns, and helping them choose the goals they want to work on. This approach helps with feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. It includes practical exercises and homework to test new thinking patterns and change unhelpful behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and sleep problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches clear skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindful awareness, which can help with impulsivity, anger, and relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. Therapy plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers a lot of flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are useful when video isn't practical; live chat or text sessions work for quick check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel, and use the format that best supports ongoing progress.
