He draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy to guide this work.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and on building a collaborative relationship. Online sessions using this approach are often conversational and aimed at understanding a person's experience and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In virtual sessions this often looks like short exercises, keeping simple records between meetings, and testing small changes in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Online DBT-style work typically includes skills practice, coaching around emotional regulation, and step-by-step behavior strategies.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods best fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so appointments are simpler to keep.
