In session he commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, narrative methods, and existential ideas to help people identify and change self-defeating thoughts and behaviors.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and relating as equals. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Existential Therapy helps people examine values and life choices when they face big transitions or questions about meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques as needs change over time.

The biography does not specify which online session options are used, so confirm current session formats before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments around work or school. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when days are tight and easier access for people who live far from in-person services. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, journaling prompts, and creative activities to an online setting to keep progress moving forward.
