About Cary

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and client-centered strategies to help people address stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with self-esteem.

Background and approach

With an emphasis on practical skills, Cary aims to tailor conversations and plans to the situations each person brings. He brings eight years of professional experience and has supported clients with a broad range of concerns including addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Cary also works with a variety of more specific issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, blended family concerns, and fatherhood matters. He approaches each interaction with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and encourages collaboration so clients feel involved in shaping their goals and next steps.

Cary practices in Colorado and offers multiple teletherapy formats to accommodate different needs. He views taking the first step toward change as an act of courage and positions himself as a supportive partner in the process of pursuing clearer coping strategies and greater well-being.

Applying CBT and Acceptance-Based Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it often includes practical exercises and skill-building to change how problems are managed. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing inner experience without trying to eliminate it and clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action, which can help with stress, avoidance, and motivation. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own insight and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Cary collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts techniques over time so treatment stays relevant and practical. This collaborative process helps clients feel involved in choosing strategies that make sense for their lives.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and to revisit therapeutic tools between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver structured interventions, support skill practice, and maintain continuity of care across different life circumstances.
