He also supports clients coping with grief, career stress, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their priorities and helps shape goals from the client’s own concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies thinking and behavior patterns that keep anger or anxiety going and teaches specific skills to change those patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or dealing with addictive behaviors by exploring motivation and steps they feel ready to take.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, whether that means targeting quick behavior changes, exploring trauma-related responses, or building motivation for long-term change. This decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Video can support role-plays and skill practice, while audio-only sessions may be a better match for low-bandwidth times or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Online work lets the practical tools of CBT and solution-focused methods be practiced in day-to-day life without promising any specific format.
