Background and approach
Sessions focus on what will make daily life more stable. Christian draws from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and reactions. He also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to make space for feelings and strengthen emotional understanding.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need tools for intense emotions and impulsive behaviors. His background includes many years supporting people through substance use, relapse prevention, and trauma related to abuse. He also addresses anger, mood shifts, and the relational aftereffects of infidelity, codependency, or family conflict.
Christian helps with practical challenges such as coping after disasters and managing impulsivity. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He works collaboratively with each person to set goals and pick strategies that fit their life.
The focus is on steady progress and usable tools for everyday situations.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a more meaningful life, which can aid anxiety, depression, and avoidance behaviors.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and behavior changes to reduce negative thinking patterns and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive actions. It offers tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for anger and self-destructive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose or combine methods that suit the person’s needs and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video is often used for full sessions, phone can be a lower-bandwidth alternative, and chat or text work well for brief check-ins or when typing is easier. These formats let people fit therapy into work, childcare, or other busy schedules and keep treatment consistent when life is unpredictable.
