How his approaches translate to online work
CBT, or cognitive behavior therapy, focuses on noticing the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger cycling. Online sessions can include step-by-step skill practice, thought records, and behavioral experiments that someone can try between meetings. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify why change matters to them. Through conversational techniques, the therapist supports people to find their own motivation and plan small steps forward. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to weigh methods, goals, and personal preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill training, motivational work, or reflective listening based on what the person needs most. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in the environments where they live and work, then bring observations back to sessions for review.Areas of expertise
