Hohaia uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. He works with each person to shape the topics and pacing of therapy. People can expect direct discussion of the problems they bring and steps to try between meetings.
He adapts the plan to fit what each person needs and prefers. That includes setting small goals, practicing new responses to stress, and reviewing progress over time. He describes treatment as collaborative rather than prescriptive.
His background includes six years of clinical work across settings, and he is credentialed as an LCSW in Florida and Utah. The LCSW credential indicates clinical-social work training and license; it is used here as provided.
People who want to start will be asked to share current concerns and goals so sessions focus on what matters now. Hohaia aims to make sessions practical and focused on changes people can notice in their day-to-day life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to remote sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address the problems people bring. One approach focuses on skills training - teaching specific ways to notice triggers, slow down, and respond differently when anger or anxiety rises. It is helpful for workplace stress and heated arguments with loved ones.Another approach emphasizes processing past events that keep emotions activated. This involves talking through difficult memories, understanding patterns, and reducing the ways those memories drive current reactions. It can help with trauma, intimacy troubles, and long-standing resentment.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review what is working and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. This means trying practical tools, checking progress, and shifting focus when new concerns appear.
