How Gerald’s approaches translate to online therapy

Gerald commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems in his work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts, choose what matters most, and take small actions toward those values. Internal Family Systems maps different inner parts and helps them relate to each other more calmly and cooperatively.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gerald will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s preferences.

Session formats are not listed in his biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins from different locations. They also make it simpler to practice skills in the settings where problems occur and to schedule brief follow-ups when needed.
