He draws on client-centered methods to center each person’s needs and build a collaborative plan.

The Gottman Method informs work on communication and relationship repair when couples’ dynamics are part of the concern.

He has about five years of experience across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization settings. That range informs a practical approach to stress, addiction, and trauma recovery.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. It helps clients feel understood and guides the conversation toward their priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, useful for intense feelings and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean combining elements of CBT, DBT, and client-centered work to address relationships, boundaries, or substance concerns.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also supports consistent practice of skills between visits and helps people apply new strategies in real time. If a particular format matters for scheduling or accessibility, check available options during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
