Background and approach

He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while building treatment plans that reflect the individual's circumstances and goals. Dr.

Landry emphasizes a collaborative relationship, meeting clients where they are and shaping conversations and strategies to fit real-life needs. Licensed as an LCSW in California (CA LCSW 20416), he combines evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused interventions.

This blend allows him to work on practical coping skills, examine unhelpful thinking patterns, and support motivation for change while attending to emotional safety and personal meaning. He encourages those who have taken the step to seek help and supports them through the process of identifying priorities and developing skills to move forward.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Dr. Landry often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and it is useful for stress management and coping with life changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing traumatic experiences in a paced way and building skills to manage trauma-related responses.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will listen to a client's concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend or adapt methods that best fit those needs, adjusting the plan over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives. These formats allow ongoing skill practice, brief check-ins, or deeper sessions depending on what a client needs, while making it possible to connect from different locations within California with a licensed professional.
