How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts, and take actions toward chosen values. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions; it often includes short exercises and homework to practice skills between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions, which can be helpful for intimacy and communication struggles.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust plans based on what works. Expect an open conversation about options rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

The biography indicates he has used telehealth since 2020, so online sessions are part of his practice. Confirm the exact session formats when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice new skills in their usual routines and then bring questions back to the session for troubleshooting.
