Background and approach

Dr. Balich helps clients name priorities and try small, doable changes that build confidence over time. His background includes a master’s degree in counseling and a doctoral degree in Counselor Education and Supervision from the University of Wyoming.

That training informs how he structures sessions and thinks about progress. He draws on methods that match the client’s situation rather than one fixed plan. Common issues he addresses include substance use, trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, relationship concerns, workplace stress, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

He also focuses on communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and compassion fatigue. People who prefer clear, collaborative sessions tend to do well with his style. He offers care in English and accepts international clients.

Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, letting clients choose what fits their routine.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting space where the client’s perspective guides the work. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, which helps when sorting through stress, grief, or identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change patterns that keep problems going.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on goals and strengths. Sessions often identify small, concrete steps that move a person toward what they want, making it useful for life changes, workplace issues, and communication problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made and new challenges arise.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit varied routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging works well for ongoing, flexible support. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a workday, manage childcare, or check in between appointments.
