How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Joey uses client-centered methods that focus on what the person wants to change and how they notice progress. This approach keeps sessions practical and lets the client guide the topics and pace.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior experiments to reduce anger and anxiety. Mindfulness therapy is another method he uses to build simple breathing and attention skills that lower reactivity in heated moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, whether that means practicing thought records, trying short mindfulness exercises, or setting solution-focused steps to manage conflict.
