How Gerald’s Approaches Work Online

Gerald uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in their thinking and change small daily habits that affect mood and stress. CBT is practical and often focuses on specific skills for handling worry, low mood, and unhelpful thoughts.

He also uses Emotionally-Focused approaches to look at how feelings shape relationships and connection, and Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum toward goals. These methods can help with relationship strain, readiness for change, and motivation around addictions or health habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gerald will work with each person to choose methods that match their situation, goals, and preferences. He listens first, then suggests steps and tools, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
