About Dean

He brings a straightforward, collaborative style and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. He aims to make sessions feel approachable and practical for people under stress.
He uses Narrative and Client-Centered ideas to help people tell their story and find new meaning. He pairs those perspectives with Cognitive Behavioral strategies when habits and thoughts get in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small steps that fit daily life. Dean describes his manner as warm and easy to talk with. He listens for strengths and for patterns that keep people stuck.
Together he and the client look for realistic ways to change behavior and improve mood. Over three decades he has worked with people facing grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and workplace problems. He also addresses mood disorders, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and substance use concerns.

How narrative and practical approaches work online
Dean often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories and find new meanings in difficult experiences. Narrative work helps when past events feel stuck or when someone wants to reshape how they see themselves.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, respect, and building a trusting relationship. That approach helps people feel heard and decide their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool he uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors that change mood and reactions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than following a fixed protocol.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
