He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship struggles, and career concerns.

He has long experience supporting veterans and service members and addressing issues that often follow military life. He also helps individuals with motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and intimacy-related concerns. Grief, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and the effects of disaster are among other areas he addresses.
In conversations he focuses on clear goals and direct strategies that fit a person’s real-world life. He aims to talk through what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and what small steps could lead to change. Work can include problem-solving for career challenges and coaching for decision points.
Dr. Skinner describes couples work as focusing on the relationship rather than only the individuals. He notes risks that can come with therapy and lists alternatives such as support groups, workshops, psychiatry, or clinical psychology for people considering different paths.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Skinner uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like anger, trauma, and anxiety. One common approach is trauma-focused work, which helps people process upsetting events and reduce reactivity by naming what happened and learning ways to respond differently. Another approach is skills-based work for emotion regulation and stress management, which teaches concrete tools for managing strong feelings and improving day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That means checking what feels doable, adjusting plans based on progress, and mixing coaching-style problem solving with deeper therapeutic work when useful.
