How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and working online
Dr. Skinner describes his work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. For trauma and post-traumatic stress he focuses on structured approaches that help people process upsetting memories and reduce symptom-driven reactions. These methods aim to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.For anxiety and stress he uses practical, skills-focused strategies such as breathing, behavioral experiments, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These tools help people test worries and build confidence in specific situations. For relationship and intimacy-related concerns he concentrates on communication patterns and problem-solving skills to clarify needs and set manageable change goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss options with each person and adjust techniques based on goals, preferences, and progress. Clients and the therapist work together to choose which methods to try and when to change course.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when life feels hectic. They also let people use simpler audio-only meetings when video would be difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions.
