About Gary
Gary uses a practical, evidence-informed style that blends cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques with a systems perspective on families and relationships. He has volunteered in the San Diego Unified School District and coached little league, and he brings those community and family experiences into his clinical work. Outside of practice he is a father of two sons who enjoys athletics and cooking. The vast majority of his clients report they had a good experience and describe him as experienced, professional, friendly, kind, helpful, and effective.
Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Practical Techniques
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more effective patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or eating. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, goal-oriented steps and practical strategies to build momentum toward change, making it useful for career and school stressors, coping with life changes, and short-term problem solving. Systemic Therapy looks at relationships and family patterns, exploring how interactions influence individual struggles and supporting healthier dynamics for parenting, blended families, and intimacy-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gary works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He draws on the perspectives of licensed professionals and therapists to tailor interventions, adjusting techniques as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in therapy from home or other convenient locations while preserving the therapeutic relationship and focus on meaningful goals.
