Background and approach

With about 20 years of practice, Jeremy brings experience from clinical and supervisory roles in California. He has worked with people facing chronic illness, compassion fatigue, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and survivors of physical and emotional trauma. He also supports people managing money worries, workplace stress, and career transitions.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, doable steps. Jeremy helps identify patterns that get in the way and explores practical alternatives. He often combines short-term problem solving with deeper trauma-focused work when needed.

People meet him and find a calm, faith-informed perspective guides his approach. He aims to help clients reconnect with values and a sense of meaning while addressing immediate coping needs.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood; it helps people untangle values and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and gives straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change, which is useful for addiction or habit shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeremy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with practical CBT tools, then adding trauma-focused work or motivational interviewing as needs become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text are helpful for quick check-ins or brief support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use the therapeutic tools developed in sessions in day-to-day life.
