How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to change feelings and results. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with day-to-day problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is tracked with brief assessments.
The biography indicates he has offered telehealth since 2020, so many clients have used virtual sessions for convenience and continuity of care. If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also support steady tracking of progress through digital assessments, which helps guide each next step.
