About Theodore
Theodore uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. He listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps clients try small, doable changes. Sessions are focused on real-life steps people can try between meetings to see what helps.
He works with issues such as depression, low self-esteem, relationship strain, trauma and grief. Additional areas include codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions like gambling or pornography, social anxiety, workplace stress, and challenges common to young adults. Anger is one of the concerns he lists and he helps people understand and manage it in daily life.
Theodore blends Client-Centered Therapy with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. This mix lets him match questions and techniques to each person’s goals. He aims to build practical plans rather than long lectures.
People who choose Theodore can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone and a focus on small changes that add up. He encourages clients to notice progress and adjust the plan as needed. To begin, people use the site's Start Therapy process and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How Theodore’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs a space to sort thoughts, build confidence, and decide on goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple experiments and practice to change unhelpful patterns; CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, anger, and addictive habits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theodore will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend a mix of methods that fit those aims. He adapts questions and exercises to what a person says is realistic and useful in their life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when people need them. It also makes it simpler to use worksheets, role plays, and homework between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
