Background and approach
He draws on training from evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build skills for everyday life. Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered methods inform how he addresses relationship and family patterns. In sessions he focuses on concrete strategies for managing anxiety and stress, improving communication, and handling parenting and family concerns.
He also addresses broader issues such as caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and problems around commitment or control. Treatment plans are practical and tailored to each person’s goals. He practices in Colorado and conducts work in English.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
The process is designed to match needs and preferences to a licensed professional who can help set next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that match what matters most, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and relationship choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills for anxiety, mood, and everyday conflicts.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. This approach can help when family dynamics, intimacy issues, or communication problems are part of the concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that fit the client’s needs. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
