He describes an eclectic approach and draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered ideas, emotionally-focused work, existential thinking, and some family-method tools where they fit. Sessions often involve clear steps and exercises to practice between meetings.

He also works with mood, stress, grief, and substance concerns using behavioral strategies and talk-based methods.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful when someone needs help clarifying values, making decisions, or feeling heard in difficult family situations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habits that affect household life.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy attends to how emotions shape interactions and attachment. It can be useful for people wanting clearer communication, fewer reactive fights, or to understand loyalty and bonding in stepfamily settings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That choice is made together, and can change as progress is reviewed over time.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow a quieter setting or a faster check-in when needed. Licensed professionals use these formats to keep regular appointments manageable while working on communication, coping skills, and stepfamily concerns.
