Remote sessions that combine evidence-informed approaches
Stephen draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thought and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can be used to clarify personal values and to develop actions that align with those values while learning to notice difficult internal experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing concrete skills to change responses to stress, anxiety, and mood challenges.
He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns. That approach emphasizes practical tools for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Sessions are collaborative: Stephen works with each person to decide which approaches match their current goals and to adapt techniques to daily life. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support ongoing communication and flexibility.
