Background and approach
He also holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology. That background influences how he approaches structure, routine, and coping strategies in sessions. Sessions focus on skills you can practice between meetings.
Camren uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address anxious thoughts and unhelpful habits. He also uses emotion-focused techniques to help people notice and shift patterns in close relationships. He aims to create an atmosphere of respect and compassion while keeping work straightforward.
Conversations are adjusted to each person’s needs, with a clear plan and simple steps to try at home. Camren prefers approaches that produce measurable progress over time. People seeking help with communication problems, guilt and shame, self-esteem, or issues related to military service will find relevant focus areas in his practice.
He encourages small steps and regular check-ins to build lasting coping skills.
How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes feel more manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It often includes homework and practical exercises to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with each person. Camren will talk about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest ACT, CBT, or emotion-focused techniques as appropriate. The plan can change as progress is made, and adjustments are part of the normal process.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing, brief reflections between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work or family schedules and maintain contact even when life is busy.
