Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and clear so families can use what they learn between meetings. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is a key part of his training and is used for trauma, phobias, and some anxiety problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also used to unpack unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone needs support making change. York pays attention to how life stress, grief, and relationship strain can affect day-to-day functioning. He also has experience with first responder issues and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
He explains options in plain terms and works with each person to decide what to try first. Outside of work he spends time with his wife and two cats. He hikes, bowls, reads, plays video games, and enjoys chess in his free time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
York uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT breaks problems into small parts and focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and phobias.He is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR. EMDR helps process upsetting memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It is commonly used for post-traumatic stress, phobias, and trauma-related anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. York will talk with each person about their history, goals, and comfort level and then suggest options. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and individuals. Video calls allow face-to-face work, phone sessions fit tight schedules, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or between-session contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain momentum toward goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
