Remote care using CBT and meditation-informed practices
Robert offers online sessions that draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and his long practice of meditation. In plain terms, CBT involves identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then building alternative skills to reduce distress. Meditation-informed practices support attention regulation, self-observation, and stress reduction techniques that can be practiced between sessions.
Sessions are collaborative. Robert works with clients to set practical goals, try specific exercises, and adjust approaches based on what is most useful. This collaborative stance is intended to fit people who want structured tools alongside reflective practices.
Remote communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow sessions and follow-up exchanges to occur in the format the client prefers while maintaining continuity of care.
