Approaches Wayne lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Wayne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters to them. ACT focuses on values and willingness to take small steps even when emotions are uncomfortable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test more useful ways of looking at situations. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger by breaking problems into manageable parts and practicing new responses.
The Gottman Method is applied when relationship patterns are part of the struggle. It teaches concrete skills for better communication and repairing conflict in close relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Wayne works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and everyday life. He explains options and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text sessions let people fit sessions into busy days and continue work between conversations. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, caregiving, or travel.
