How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's viewpoint and priorities. Online sessions using this approach involve reflective listening and letting the client steer what matters most, which can help when anger shows up in specific relationships or settings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions, CBT work often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing alternative responses, and setting small behavioral experiments to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing sensations and impulses without immediately reacting, which can be helpful for managing sudden frustration or simmering resentment.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kenneth will collaborate with clients to decide which techniques to try, adjust plans as progress is reviewed, and focus on concrete goals like reducing snapping, diffusing workplace frustration, or changing how anger is expressed at home.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow focused, regular check-ins. Kenneth uses his clinical approaches to make online sessions practical and goal-oriented rather than abstract.
