He values a trusting working relationship and pays attention to both emotions and thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Over 14 years of practice, he has worked with concerns including trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, bipolar, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses issues such as parenting strain, career stress, intimacy questions, and communication problems. He draws on a range of approaches to match a person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
His style balances practical problem solving with deeper reflection. That means identifying unhelpful thoughts or behaviors and also looking at meaning, values, and life direction when helpful. He explains options clearly and helps people try small changes between sessions.
Prof. Tate holds the South Carolina LISW-CP credential and an LCSW in North Carolina. He works with clients in English and accepts international clients through online formats.
If someone wants straightforward support that honors their experience, he aims to listen first and help plan the next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people draw out their own strengths to solve problems and feel more grounded. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes because it prioritizes what the person already knows about themselves.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce stress or improve mood.
Existential Therapy invites people to examine values, meaning, and life direction when those issues feel pressing. It can help when someone is wrestling with purpose, commitment, or big transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That decision can shift over time as needs change.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more adaptable. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins and flexible timing. These options help people fit therapy around work, travel, or caregiving demands while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
