Henry also attends to communication problems and attachment issues as part of relationship work. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Henry welcomes people who want help sorting through career questions, coping with loss, reducing compulsive behaviors, or finding clearer life direction.
He aims to make therapy useful and manageable for people with busy lives.
Working with ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding clearer life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase presence in daily life.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Henry will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust plans as progress and preferences become clear. The work is paced to what a person can use between sessions and in everyday routines.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, brief coaching, or ongoing check-ins between scheduled sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people with busy schedules or who live far from a therapist.
