How his approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and make sense of past hurts. It guides gradual steps toward feeling safer and more in control when reactions from trauma come up. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values and then taking small actions that matter to the person. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and aims to build trust through empathetic listening and reflection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend whether Trauma-Focused Therapy, ACT, client-centered work, or another method feels like the best fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker follow-ups between visits. It can also let someone choose audio-only or video options depending on what they prefer and what helps them engage. Ask about scheduling and any format options when you start the matching process.
