About Scott

He supports men’s wellbeing among other issues like sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Scott emphasizes kindness and nonjudgmental care in early conversations.
He uses a flexible, client-focused style and prefers whatever approach helps the person, provided it does not harm anyone.

Scott encourages regular social contact and homework between meetings to keep progress moving.
Scott brings 37 years of experience to his work and holds an LCSW, licensed in Texas and Utah. He notes that living with chronic low vision has shaped his sensitivity to distress and his ability to notice subtle signs of struggle. That lived experience informs how he listens and responds in session.
Scott draws on several approaches, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, existential therapy, and mindfulness. He tailors techniques to each person’s needs and values, and he aims to strengthen each client’s sense of dignity and agency.
People who meet with Scott can expect empathy, encouragement, and resources to support change. He often shares short educational readings and suggests journaling to deepen insight between sessions. To begin, he asks people to pick a time that fits their schedule and complete a brief intake questionnaire.
How Scott’s approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s experience and values. The therapist listens with empathy, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify goals. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady, respectful space to talk through problems.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and thought records to change patterns that keep stress or anxiety going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes.
Emotionally-focused therapy helps people notice and name emotions and how those emotions affect relationships. It can support someone working through intimacy concerns, attachment struggles, or grief by helping them express and regulate feelings more clearly.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and may combine methods over time. Together they decide what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask which options fit your schedule and needs. One practical benefit of online work is easier scheduling around daily life, which can make regular check-ins more feasible. Online meetings can also allow shorter phone check-ins when bandwidth or time is limited. Ask about available formats so sessions can fit into your routine.
