Online therapy and clinical methods

Online sessions adapt the practitioner’s in-person approaches to a remote format while attending to the same concerns: stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, mood challenges, and related areas. Sessions are structured to reflect each person's goals and preferred pace.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help clarify values and support committed actions even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and builds practical strategies to reduce distress and increase functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered to assist with processing disturbing memories through guided bilateral stimulation while noting changes in emotion and meaning.

He works collaboratively with clients to select and combine approaches that fit their needs and to adjust the plan over time. Remote contact options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing for both real-time conversations and ongoing written exchanges.
