How Skip works
Skip uses several evidence-based approaches, including client-centered techniques that keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities, cognitive behavioral methods that identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to manage stress and mood. He also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of life patterns and past experiences.
He offers help for a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, sex and porn addiction recovery, alcohol and drug dependency recovery, self-esteem struggles, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, and coping with chronic pain or illness. He also addresses attachment, abandonment, caregiver stress, and grief. Sessions are offered in English and provided through online formats.
The focus is on steady progress, clear goals, and encouraging people to try manageable changes that fit their day-to-day life.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the person choose what matters most to work on. It often helps when someone is unsure where to begin or wants support grounded in their values.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. Sessions teach simple skills to test and change unhelpful thoughts, build new habits, and reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. This approach works well for mood, stress, and many addiction-related concerns.
Mindfulness practices teach straightforward ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up in them. These techniques can help with stress, sleep problems, and emotional regulation during difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and flexible for everyday life.
