How Henry's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, using empathic listening to help people find their own solutions and build self-trust.

Picking the right approach is part of the work and usually happens together. Henry will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. He adjusts methods as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people living outside California or in other countries to connect in English or Spanish. Ask about current session options when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
