He emphasizes practical coping skills alongside discussion and reflection.
For parents, he has experience with play-based work and Child Parent Relationship Therapy techniques to strengthen connection with children, including those with ADHD. He aims to teach simple interaction skills parents can use at home.

How these approaches look in online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds clear skills for managing intense emotions and preventing impulsive reactions.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they adjust methods and practice skills that fit the client’s life.
Confirm the therapist’s available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work without travel time. Licensed professionals can use the same skills-based work online as in person, helping clients build new habits and cope with everyday challenges.
