Background and approach
Sessions typically balance listening with problem-solving so clients leave with concrete steps. His style emphasizes skills you can use between meetings, such as coping tools and communication strategies. Dr.
Hale uses several evidence-informed methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused tools. He tailors these methods to the concern at hand and to each person’s goals. Progress is discussed openly so adjustments can be made when something isn’t working.
Before counseling, he spent part of his career in sports and fitness settings and has experience supporting first responders and athletes. That background shapes how he frames behavior change, goal setting, and resilience. This practical lens can help people who want clear steps and measurable progress.
Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Dr. Hale practices in Kansas and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a strong working relationship. It helps when someone needs a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns for issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships. It can be useful for mood disorders, anger, and impulse-related struggles.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted when needed.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing written reflections. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit sessions into busy lives.
