Background and approach
Those roles shaped a practical, down-to-earth style that values curiosity and respect. In sessions he focuses on understanding how a person makes meaning in life. He draws on existential ideas that look at values, responsibility, and the choices people face.
He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and narrative ideas to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. Therapy can include short exercises, role-play, journaling, artwork, relaxation skills, and plain psychoeducation when that’s useful.
He aims to relate as an equal, listen with empathy, and challenge in ways that help people try new approaches. Si practices from Idaho and supports international clients.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, values, and choice. In plain terms this approach helps people name what matters to them, face uncertainty, and decide how they want to live when life feels confusing or stuck. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and uses empathic listening and acceptance to help people feel heard and clearer about their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood or behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs and goals, and may combine elements from different approaches as the process unfolds. This helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the individual move forward.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or work break, live chat offers a quicker back-and-forth, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins and brief reflections. These options make it easier to use practical tools, try role-play, share written work, or complete short exercises without changing daily routines.
