Adam draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches. In sessions he commonly uses mindfulness, journal writing, identifying supports, and building inner strengths. These tools are offered as concrete steps people can try between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection issues and build more steady ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they pick strategies to try and adjust them as needed based on progress and feedback.
The therapist's profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't possible, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use video or audio depending on what feels most practical for the day. Licensed professionals will adapt the chosen approach to the online setting so people can practice skills, use mindfulness, and follow relapse prevention or coaching plans between sessions.
