He brings a warm, accepting, and compassionate presence to therapy and focuses on understanding each person’s story so that work in sessions can be both meaningful and effective.

He blends ACT with other evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - EMDR and client-centered techniques, tailoring methods to each person’s needs. As an LCSW Reynie combines teaching skills with attentive listening, offering support that sometimes centers on skill building and other times on providing space to be understood.

Reynie works with people facing a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and communication problems, self-esteem and life-purpose questions, as well as issues related to caregiver stress, family dynamics, addiction, and fatherhood. Outside of his clinical work he enjoys spending time with loved ones, creating and playing music, and watching sports. He welcomes conversations to explore whether his approach may be a good fit.

Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges with motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to promote greater self-understanding and self-acceptance; this approach can be especially helpful for relationship, self-esteem, and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - offers structured strategies to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical option for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related difficulties.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Reynie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Reynie is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to access consistent care from a licensed professional without sacrificing continuity, allowing people to engage in work on stress, relationships, mood, and other concerns from locations that suit them.
