Background and approach

His work emphasizes learning skills that people can use between sessions. That often means practicing different ways of thinking and acting, noticing how habits affect feelings, and testing new behaviors in real life. He uses techniques that help reduce panic, manage anger, and ease social worries.

Over 30 years Scott has worked in varied settings and refined ways to help people regain motivation and move toward goals. He pays attention to shame, guilt, and issues around identity or sexuality when those concerns show up. He also addresses mood disorders and disturbances that interfere with daily life.

People who choose Scott are generally looking for clear direction, practical strategies, and a focus on values and purpose. He meets people where they are and helps them build steady progress at a pace they can handle.

How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic and social anxiety. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen a person's own reasons for change and build momentum toward goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scott will discuss your goals and preferences and combine elements of these methods to fit your situation. The process is collaborative - you and the therapist decide what to try and adjust it based on what helps.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving between appointments.
