He sees adults for individual therapy and for marriage or relationship counseling. His practice also addresses related areas like abandonment, family of origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and forgiveness.
His approach is practical and collaborative. He and the client map what is causing the problem or what the client wants to enhance. They then identify psychological and behavioral changes that could help and plan how to put those changes into practice.
Treese emphasizes cooperation and mutual purpose during sessions. He treats change as a process that often needs outside support and concrete steps. He follows through with clients to help establish and maintain those changes.

How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. It can help people who are stuck in avoidance or who want clearer direction for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, anger, and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional responses in close relationships and helps people shift interaction patterns that cause distance or conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick which methods to emphasize based on goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed and new targets emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when full sessions are not feasible. They also let people work on relationship patterns and emotional skills from wherever they are without needing to rearrange major commitments.
