Over three decades he has worked with a range of clinical concerns and life transitions. His approach emphasizes clear steps, regular practice, and checking progress together. That can include short experiments, new routines, and problem-focused conversations.

How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and choosing actions that move someone toward what matters, useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build coping routines for panic, social anxiety, and mood problems.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach aimed at strengthening a person’s own reasons for change. It is helpful when motivation feels mixed or when someone wants to make steady behavioral shifts.
Deciding which approach will guide sessions is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps. That means starting with clear goals and checking progress together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the format choices during the scheduling step so sessions match practical needs and daily routines.
