Additional areas include aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and concerns like codependency and dependent personality patterns.
Ronald integrates practical approaches such as acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavior techniques, attachment-based perspectives, client-centered care, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions are meant to teach concrete tools as well as offer a space to talk things through. He provides therapy in English and works with people seeking coaching or help coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where values and action matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches specific techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ronald will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that match your situation. Together you can decide which techniques to use and adjust them as needed so the work fits how you want to change and grow.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between in-depth sessions.
