Teletherapy and therapeutic approaches
Kenneth conducts remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He is licensed in Ohio and brings 26 years of clinical experience to each remote engagement, offering a range of ways to communicate depending on client preference.He uses Client-Centered Therapy to honor the individual perspective a person brings to therapy. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and the belief that the client understands their own story, with the therapist offering support and guidance rather than directive instruction.
