About Bret
He has worked with individuals facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, anger, and depression, among other challenges. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session and adapts conversations and treatment plans to match each person’s specific needs and circumstances. Bret frames therapy as a collaborative process and focuses on building strategies that fit the client’s life.
Recognizing the courage it takes to seek change, he aims to support people as they take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. His training as an LPC means he has met state requirements for professional counseling and uses that foundation to guide tailored care and practical problem solving.
Approaches Used Remotely - Client-Centered Care and Skills-Based Therapy
Bret commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into his online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and confidence, which is helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and is useful for managing intense emotions, anger, and patterns that strain relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bret works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and current needs, and he adapts plans as progress unfolds.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility challenges, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations while maintaining a regular schedule of care and continuity with a chosen therapist.
