Background and approach
In sessions he focuses on clear goals and small, doable steps. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients accept difficult feelings while taking value-driven action. He also adapts techniques from motivational interviewing and exposure and response prevention when they fit the client’s needs.
He pays attention to identity and culture, and offers queer-affirming and BIPOC-inclusive support. That means listening for how social pressures and cultural expectations affect everyday life, then using practical tools to lessen their impact. Clients might work on stress, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, or challenges related to gender dysphoria and sexuality.
Work with him can address career questions, life purpose, immigration-related stress, and midlife transitions. Sessions mix skills practice, values clarification, and gentle exposure tasks when appropriate. The approach aims to help people feel more grounded and able to take steps that matter to them.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about identity or life purpose. Motivational interviewing focuses on clarifying what matters to you and resolving mixed feelings about change; it can help with career shifts or taking steps around identity. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) involves gradual, supported practice facing feared situations or intrusive thoughts to reduce compulsive responses and ease obsessive patterns.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed. Sessions are collaborative, and progress is checked regularly to make sure the work matches what the client wants.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is well suited for longer sessions and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, homework, or people who prefer typing to talking. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, school, or daily life.
