Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Chuck works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people recognize and change repeating patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying thoughts and beliefs that fuel guilt or shame, then testing those beliefs in small, practical ways to reduce their hold. Another approach emphasizes behavior change and skill practice, helping someone try alternate actions in everyday situations to shift mood and relationship reactions.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Chuck will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or new challenges appear.
