Background and approach

He is licensed as an LPC - SC LPC 9188 and GA LPC LPC013092 and practices in Alabama. He brings 20 years of social service experience across hospitals, mental health clinics, correctional facilities, and community agencies. In sessions he focuses on finding a mix of approaches that fits each person.

That often means combining straightforward coping skills with deeper work on family of origin issues, self-esteem, or substance use. He also addresses communication problems, anger, and mood symptoms in clear, practical terms. His style aims to be collaborative and compassionate rather than judgmental.

He helps people set realistic goals and teaches tools they can use between sessions. Progress is measured by small, practical changes that feel meaningful in daily life. For someone unsure where to start, he offers a simple path: discuss current concerns, try techniques that match those needs, and adjust as progress unfolds.

The approach is flexible and centered on what the individual finds most helpful.

Evidence-based methods and online flexibility

Two common evidence-based approaches he draws on are practical skills training and trauma-focused work. Practical skills training teaches concrete coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and anger, such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning. Trauma-focused work helps people address past harm in small, manageable steps to reduce its impact on daily life.

He also uses approaches that help with addictive behaviors and family of origin issues by breaking problems into specific goals and learning new ways to respond. Each approach is described plainly and focused on what someone can do between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits through multiple formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is difficult, and live chat or text for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people keep continuity in care when life is busy or unpredictable.
