People who come to him for guilt and shame often talk through how those feelings affect daily life and relationships.

How his approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help a person understand what matters to them. It is useful when someone needs space to name feelings like guilt or shame and to decide what values they want to keep in their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and to change behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and tailor sessions based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting over time in collaboration with the client.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that suit a work break or a quieter hour at home. Some formats also let people choose shorter or less camera-focused visits when that fits their needs. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, use these options to help sessions fit into everyday life without assuming a particular schedule.
