How his approaches fit into online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own goals. The therapist follows the person's lead, checks in on what matters most, and helps people talk through problems such as relationship strain, grief, or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses clear exercises and practical steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or anger that shows up at work or home.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining ideas from different approaches and adjusting over time.
His stated practice offers sessions by video and by phone, and he does not provide live chat. If you need a specific session format, confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
