Background and approach
Sessions often center on skills to cope with stress, reduce substance use, and strengthen day-to-day routines. Dr. Barthelemy uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral methods to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
He also draws on motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change, and solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps forward. These approaches are adapted to each person’s situation. People come to him for help with grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem, career transitions, and ADHD-related challenges.
He also addresses blended family conflicts, fatherhood concerns, infidelity, and problems linked to discrimination or cultural stress. The focus stays on what the individual needs to feel more capable and stable. Therapy with Dr.
Barthelemy is collaborative. He will talk through goals, suggest concrete strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made. He works in English and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or messaging.
How these approaches work in online sessions
Dr. Barthelemy uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that make life harder. CBT often involves short exercises and practical homework to test new ways of thinking and acting.He also uses motivational interviewing to build motivation for change. This method means asking open questions, reflecting back what you say, and helping you find your own reasons to move forward. Solution-focused therapy is another tool he uses to pin down small, realistic steps that lead to quick improvements.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. The plan can shift as clients learn what helps them most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other duties.
