He has worked in residential programs, correctional settings, and both in-person and online services.

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
The therapist uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to identify repetitive emotional and attachment patterns that affect relationships and closeness. EFT often helps when people struggle to name strong feelings or keep getting stuck in the same interactions.He also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and building a working relationship, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches are often used together to tackle mood problems, anxiety, relationship conflict, and addiction-related behaviors.
Finding the right approach tends to be a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, values, and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy continues and new needs emerge.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography lists live phone and video as methods he has offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Clients should discuss scheduling windows upfront so sessions match their routines and practical constraints.
