He offers sessions in English and works with people across locations, including international clients. His style is patient, practical, and focused on helping people build resilience and clearer next steps.
Approaches that work online and in life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting conversation where the person leads and the therapist follows, helping with issues like self-esteem, grief, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk about goals and try methods that match what feels most useful. That way the work stays tailored and collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for therapy work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging let people exchange thoughts between meetings or use brief, focused support during a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
