Dr. Beck holds a PhD from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and completed an APA-approved internship in Medical Psychology at Washington University School of Medicine. He is also board certified at the national level, a distinction held by fewer than 10% of licensed psychologists.
Over the course of his career he has held leadership and academic roles, including Director of Pediatric Psychology at Phoenix Children’s Hospital and Assistant Director of a Family Medicine Residency Program in Scottsdale, Arizona. He held multiple appointments at the University of Arizona School of Medicine in the Departments of Pediatrics, Family and Community Medicine, and Orthopedics with a focus on chronic pain.

He retired two years ago and sold his private practice.
Dr. Beck’s areas of focus include stress, anxiety, relationship issues, career difficulties, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, parenting concerns, anger management, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. His approach is eclectic and tailored to the age, needs, and temperament of the individual or family. He often uses short-term, solution-based problem solving supported by educational resources when appropriate.
Known for a tolerant, non-judgmental stance, Dr. Beck aims to help people find practical changes that work for their lives. He emphasizes that sometimes a relatively small adjustment - a 10% change - can produce a major improvement in functioning and well-being.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a wide range of common concerns—including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions—online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person treatment for most individuals.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that best fits their needs and schedule, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to build therapy into a busy life.
Therapists working online are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they are seeking a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to address everyday mental health concerns while maintaining continuity of care and convenience.
