Background and approach
He pays attention to how thoughts, emotions, and relationships affect daily life and uses that to plan next steps. His background includes clinical training and a doctorate in marriage and family therapy. He has five years listed experience as an LPC and LMFT and previous years working in pastoral counseling.
That mix informs a respectful, empathic style and an emphasis on resilience. Common concerns he addresses include depression, bipolar mood issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting and family stress, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD. He also focuses on issues like first responder stress, veteran and armed forces concerns, multicultural challenges, immigration-related stress, and discrimination.
Sessions are offered in English and Malayalam and are available to international clients. He aims to create a calm space to talk through painful topics, try new approaches, and build practical coping strategies for day-to-day life.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take small steps toward what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, and sleep problems. It gives clear tools to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful, adjusting techniques over time, and combining approaches when it makes sense.
Online sessions can fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between meetings, share brief updates, or get support without scheduling a full session. These options help people maintain consistency while balancing work, family, or travel.
